I Wish I Was

The Avett Brothers G Vote rhythm

New versions

[Verse1]
I wish I was a f[G]flame dancing in a [C]candle
Lighting up your l[G]living room high on the [C]mantle
I could bring some [Am]romance without any [C]scandal
And then when yo[G]you were done you'd just p[C]put me out [G]
 
I wish I was a [G]tune you sang in your [C]kitchen
Putting your g[G]groceries away and [C]washing your dishes
I could [Am]float around
your tongue and ease the t[C]tension
And then when [G]you were done
you'd just [C]quiet down [G]
 
[Chorus]
But if I [C]get too close
Will the [G]magic fade?
Would I [Bm]turn you off or [Em]away?
If I p[C]pull you in
Would I [G]push you out
Of [Bm]something here you care [C]about?
Well I'm [Am]at a loss for wh[C]what to do
But I'm [D]drawn to you
 
[Verse2]
I wish I was a s[G]sweater wrapped around your [C]hips
And when it got too [G]cold into me you'd s[C]slip
And when the [Am]sun came back you would han[C]hang me up
And I would [G]watch you while [C]you undress [G]
 
[Chorus]
But if I [C]get too close
Will the [G]magic fade?
Would I [Bm]turn you off or [Em]away?
If I p[C]pull you in
Would I [G]push you out
Of [Bm]something here you care [C]about?
Well I'm [Am]at a loss for wh[C]what to do
But I'm [D]drawn to you [D]

(Repeat intro tab)
 
[Verse3]
I'm not a [G]song
I am not a [C]sweater
I'm not a f[G]fire
I am something [C]better
I'm a [Am]man in love writing you a [C]letter
Will you [G]take it
Will you [C]keep it
Will you [Am]read it
[C]Believe it
I [G]love you
I'm [C]sorry.
