Gm Dm C Gm
Oh, the sun is shining far too bright
Dm C Gm Dm C Gm
For it to still be night
Gm Dm C Gm Dm C
Oh the air feels so cold so cold and old
Gm Dm C Gm
How can it be light
Oh let's take a walk outside
See the world through each other's eyes
I wish I was your only one
I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best
Cm F
And I, I wish I was the one,
Dm
You lonely, lonely son
Gm
And you looked at me that way
Cm
I wish for long lingering glances
[Refrão]
F Dm Gm
Fairytale romances every single day
Cm
And you look at me and say
F
I'm your best friend every day
Dm Gm
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Cm F
Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend
Dm Gm
How I wish for something, wish for something more
[Próxima Parte]
Oh the grass is so green
But I can't see anything, past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile
Your cherry lips make life worthwhile
I'm thinking these things
What I'm trying to say is
Life gets in my way
Every single day
And I, I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Now the sun is fading and the rain is coming down
Gm Dm Gm Dm
And I'm looking at your face but your looking at the ground
Gm Dm Gm Dm
I see diamonds in your dreams I see pearls around your neck
Gm Dm Gm Dm
I see everything that's beautiful, everything that's beautiful
I wish I was the one
You lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
[Refrão] (repetir)
