C (x32010@1)                G (320003@1)  
We almost got it together 
     Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)                    
And I'll be your favourite thing
     C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)             
Oh stand by the river with hard-luck eyes 
     Am (x02210@1)                  FAnd (133211@1)I'll just be open and sing
     C (x32010@1)                   G (320003@1) 
And if I was telling you stories 
       Am (x02210@1)               F (133211@1)  
I was only trying to surprise
   C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)         
I wish I was like the frog princess 
         G (320003@1)          | CF CG |
And I'd never tell you lies

C (x32010@1)                     G (320003@1)           
And down by the soil of the hard life 
    Am (x02210@1)                        F (133211@1)    
Oh they like to greet us with smiles  
  C (x32010@1)                        G (320003@1)        
They like to tell us their good hostess 
      Am (x02210@1)               FHas (133211@1)travelled a million miles
     C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)            
But you'd like it written closer
      Am (x02210@1)                  F (133211@1) 
Yes, you'd like it written pure
      C (x32010@1)                      F (133211@1)             
If I told you this, would you miss my kiss
           G (320003@1)               | CF CG |
Would you come right back for more

Am (x02210@1)                F (133211@1)      
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)     
But you want to carry on
     Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)               
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G (320003@1)                    | CF CG |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone

C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)   
And there's a light by your window 
         Am (x02210@1)                F (133211@1)      
And I'd like to capture you by there 
         C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)           
And I'd like to hold you for all to see  
     Am (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)But they don't really care
       C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)   
And if I said you're no peccadillo 
     Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)      
Yes, I said you're a major thing
        C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)           
Would you stand by me,  at the corner dock  
           G (320003@1)                  | CF CG |
And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!"

Am (x02210@1)                F (133211@1)      
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)     
But you want to carry on
         Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)               
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G (320003@1)                    | CF CG |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone

Am (x02210@1)           F (133211@1)        
And I'd like another cue 
        C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)         
That's why I strain to see
Am (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)         
And I'd like the best in you 
            G (320003@1)            | CF CG |
Cause you write the best in me

C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)    
And everybody was swinging 
     Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1) 
Oh swooning to the heart in me
     C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)       
Oh they were sure that I'd be burning, yes
          Am (x02210@1)                      F (133211@1)So their tart swerve to here might be
       C (x32010@1)                     G (320003@1)  
But if I said "you're gold, inside, yes?"
    Am (x02210@1)                 F (133211@1) 
And if you were true to me
          C (x32010@1)                    F (133211@1)          
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
  G (320003@1)             | CF CG |
Crawl home back to me

Am (x02210@1)                F (133211@1)      
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)     
But you want to carry on
         Am (x02210@1)                    F (133211@1)               
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G (320003@1)                    | CF CG |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone
