Verse 1
G
C
I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle
G
Lighting up your living room
C
high on the mantle
Am
I could bring some romance
C
without any scandal
G
And then when you were done
C
G
you'd just put me out
Verse 2
G
I wish I was a tune
C
you sang in your kitchen
G
Putting your groceries away
C
and washing your dishes
Am
I could float around your tongue
C
and ease the tension
G
And then when you were done
C
G
you'd just quiet down
Chorus 1

But if I get too close

Will the magic fade?

Would I turn you off or away?

If I pull you in

Would I push you out

Of something here you care about?

Verse 3
G
I wish I was a sweater
C
wrapped around your hips
G
And when it got too cold

into me you'd slip
Am
And when the sun came back
C
you would hang me up
G
And I would watch you
C
G
while you undress

I'm not a song

I am not a sweater

I am something better I'm a man in love

writing you a letter
G
Will you take it

Will you keep it

Will you read it

Believe it

I love you
C
I'm sorry
