Biography:
The Spin Doctors is a rock group from New York, USA, best known for its 1992 hits, "Two Princes" and "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong", which charted at #7 & #17 on the pop chart, respectively. The album that included those songs, 'Pocket Full of Kryptonite', sold poorly until MTV and radio began playing those singles. The album eventually went gold, receiving another boost in sales after the band appeared on Saturday Night Live in October 1992, and it ultimately sold five million copies in the U.

How Could You Want Him?(When You Know You Could Have Me)
Acoustic/Rhythm Chords Version
Spin Doctors-Album: Pocket Full of Kryptonite, 1991
For acoustic pattern I strum the chords twice(ish) for intro as
written. Then one single chord strum over vocals, and back
to twice(ish) between vocal phrases. Or play along with the good
Doctors & you'll get it. ;-)
If you are more of a picker there's a tab for riffs on this site
from a fellow tabber you might check out.
Note last line in vs.3 is slightly different in pattern w/vocal.
