C5                  G5    
We almost got it together 
     A5                      F5                      
And I'll be your favourite thing
     C5                      G5               
Oh stand by the river with hard-luck eyes 
     A5                    F5
And I'll just be open and sing
     C5                     G5   
And if I was telling you stories 
       A5                 F5    
I was only trying to surprise
   C5                    F5           
I wish I was like the frog princess 
         G5             C5 F5 C5 G5 
And I'd never tell you lies

     C5                       G5             
And down by the soil of the hard life 
    A5                          F5      
Oh they like to greet us with smiles  
  C5                          G5          
They like to tell us their good hostess 
      A5                 F5
Has travelled a million miles
     C5                      G5              
But you'd like it written closer
      A5                    F5   
Yes, you'd like it written pure
      C5                        F5               
If I told you this, would you miss my kiss
           G5                  C5 F5 C5 G5 
Would you come right back for more

         A5                  F5        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C5            G5       
But you want to carry on
     A5                      F5                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G5                       C5 F5 C5 G5          
But I'd still be here when you're gone

      C5                      G5     
And there's a light by your window 
         A5                  F5        
And I'd like to capture you by there 
         C5                    G5             
And I'd like to hold you for all to see  
     A5                F5 
But they don't really care
       C5                      G5     
And if I said you're no peccadillo 
     A5                      F5        
Yes, I said you're a major thing
        C5                    F5             
Would you stand by me,  at the corner dock  
           G5                     C5 F5 C5 G5 
And say, "Yes, this girl is the swing!"

         A5                  F5        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C5            G5       
But you want to carry on
         A5                      F5                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G5                       C5 F5 C5 G5          
But I'd still be here when you're gone


A5             F5          
And I'd like another cue 
        C5               G5           
That's why I strain to see
A5                F5           
And I'd like the best in you 
            G5               C5 F5 C5 G5 
Cause you write the best in me

     C5              G5      
And everybody was swinging 
     A5                      F5   
Oh swooning to the heart in me
     C5                         G5         
Oh they were sure that I'd be burning, yes
          A5                        F5 
So their tart swerve to here might be
       C5                       G5    
But if I said "you're gold, inside, yes?"
    A5                   F5   
And if you were true to me
          C5                      F5            
Would you hang around with that creepy smile
  G5                C5 F5 C5 G5 
Crawl home back to me

         A5                  F5        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C5            G5       
But you want to carry on
         A5                      F5                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G5                       C5 F5 C5 G5          
But I'd still be here when you're gone
