F                         Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl
                     A#
wish you were born a girl
   Am                   G
So I could've been your boyfriend
  C              Dm      Bb
I know it's not possible now
       F           C                   Am      G
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you


    F                      Am                  A#
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day
      Am              G
Or at least until the afternoon
    C                Dm             Bb
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
     F               C             Am      G
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem


    F                 Am
And then when you got sick
                         A#
I could take the day off work
Am                  G
I could've made you chicken soup
    C                   Dm
And we could watch soap operas
          Bb
Oh, those TV dramas
F                  C
I could catch your cold
              Am           G
And you could take care of me


Am                            F                     Bb
Mmm, If I could've met you at school, or met you at work
                      G
It would have changed everything
      Am               F                      Bb
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity
                     G
They would have been shared
                     Am    Bb
They would have been easier


F                         Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl
                     A#
wish you were born a girl
   Am                   G
So I could've been your fiance
    C                                 Dm         Bb
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me
                      F                     C
But it's just not the same because you're a man
           F
And so am I

Am A# Am G
