I Wish I Was

	  		 
 

Intro: G


verse 1 

                G                 C 
I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle 
                  G                      C 
Lighting up your living room high on the mantle 
                   Am                  C         
I could bring some romance without any scandal 
                G                       C           G 
And then when you were done you'd just put me out 

               G                     C 
I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen 
              G                 C        
Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes 
        Am                                     C 
I could float around your tongue and ease the tension 
              G                        C            G 
And then when you were done you'd just quiet down 

         C 
But if I get too close 
         G 
Will the magic fade? 
        Bm              Em  
Would I turn you off or away? 
      C 
If I pull you in 
        G 
Would I push you out 
   Bm                      C                 
Of something here you care about? 
         Am              C 
Well I'm at a loss for what to do 
        D                
But I'm drawn to you 


verse 2 

                G                          C 
I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips 
                    G                   C 
And when it got too cold into me you'd slip 
             Am                         C 
And when the sun came back you would hang me up 
            G               C           G 
And I would watch you while you undress 

         C 
But if I get too close 
         G 
Will the magic fade? 
        Bm              Em  
Would I turn you off or away? 
      C 
If I pull you in 
        G 
Would I push you out 
   Bm                      C                 
Of something here you care about? 
         Am              C 
Well I'm at a loss for what to do 
        D               D 
But I'm drawn to you

verse 3 

          G 
I'm not a song 
           C 
I am not a sweater 
           G 
I'm not a fire 
               C 
I am something better 
      Am                        C 
I'm a man in love writing you a letter 
         G 
Will you take it 
         C 
Will you keep it 
         Am 
Will you read it 
C 
Believe it 
  G 
I love you 
    C 
I'm sorry.
