Verse 1
I wish I was a flame (G major) dancing in a candle (C major)
Lighting up your living (G major) room
high (C major) on the mantle
I could bring some (A minor) romance
without (G/B) any (C major) scandal
And then when you were (G major) done
you'd just put me (C major) out (G major)

Verse 2
I wish I was a tune (G major)
you sang in your (C major) kitchen
Putting your (G major) groceries away
and wash (C major) ing your dishes
I could (A minor) float around your tongue
and ease (G/B) (C major) the tension
And then when you were (G major) done
you'd just quiet (C major) down (G major)
Chorus 1
But if I (C major) get too close
Will the (G major) magic fade?
Would I (B minor) turn you off or away? (E minor)
If I (C major) pull you in
Would I (G major) push you out
(A minor) Of (B minor) something here you care about? (C major)
I'm (A minor) at a loss for (G/B) what (C major) to do
I'm (D major) drawn to you
(D7)
Verse 3
I wish I was a (G major) sweater
wrapped around your (C major) hips
And when it got (G major) too cold
into me you'd slip (C major)
And when the sun (A minor) came back
you would (G/B) hang me (C major) up
And I would watch (G major) you
while you undress (C major) (G major)
Chorus 2
But if I (C major) get too close
Will the (G major) magic fade?
Would I (B minor) turn you off or away? (E minor)
If I (C major) pull you in
Now would I (G major) push you out
(A minor) Of (B minor) something here you care about? (C major)
Well I'm (A minor) at a loss for (G/B) what (C major) to do
But I'm (D major) drawn to you

Verse 4
I'm not a song (G major)
I am not a (C major) sweater

I am something (C major) better I'm a man (A minor) in love
writing (G/B) you a (C major) letter
Will you (G major) take it
Will you (C major) keep it
Will you (A minor) read it
Be (C major) lieve it
I (G major) love you
I'm (C major) sorry
