-----------------------------------------------

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

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

         Am                  F        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C            G       
But you want to carry on
     Am                      F                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G                      | C F C G |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone

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

         Am                  F        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C            G       
But you want to carry on
         Am                      F                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G                      | C F C G |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone


Am             F          
And I'd like another cue 
        C               G           
That's why I strain to see
Am                F           
And I'd like the best in you 
            G              | C F C G |
Cause you write the best in me

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

         Am                  F        
Oh, I'd like to be,  what I wanna be
         C            G       
But you want to carry on
         Am                      F                 
But you need to take,  what you have to take  
          G                      | C F C G |         
But I'd still be here when you're gone
