[G#] I _ [E] _ _ _ _ [G#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ wish I was a flame, _ _ _ _ dancing in [E] a candle, _ _ _ _ lighting up [B] your living _ room.
_ High [E] on a mantle, _ _ I could bring [C#m] some romance, _ _ without [E] any scandal. _
_ _ And then [B] when you were done, you just [E] put me out.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ I wish I was a tune, _ _ you sang [E] in your kitchen. _
_ _ Putting [B] your groceries _ away, and [E] washing your dishes. _
_ _ _ [C#m] I could float around your town, and [E] ease the tension. _
_ _ And [B] then when you were done, you [E] just quiet down.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ _ But [E] if I get too _ _ close, [B] will the magic fade?
_ _ [D#m] Would I turn you _ _ off, or [G#m] away? _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] If I pull you _ _ in, [B] would I push you out?
_ _ [D#m] Or something _ here, you care [E] about? _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] I'm at a _ _ loss, for [E] what to do. _
_ _ _ [F#] I'm drawn to you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I wish I was [B] a sweater, _ _ _ wrapped around [E] your hips. _
_ _ And when [B] it got too cold, into me you'd [E] slip. _ _ _
_ _ And when [C#m] the sun came back, _ you would hang [E] me up. _ _
_ _ And I would [B] watch you, while [E] you undress.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ But if [E] I get too _ _ _ close, [B] will the magic fade?
_ _ [D#m] Would I turn you _ _ off, or [G#m] away? _ _ _
_ _ [E] If I pull you _ _ in, would [B] I push you _ out?
_ [D#m] Or something here, you care [E] about? _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] I'm at a _ _ _ loss, [B] for [E] what to do. _ _
But [F#] I'm drawn to you. _

_ _ I'm [B] not a song. _ _
_ _ I'm [E] not a sweater. _
I'm _ _ [B] not a fire. _
_ _ I'm [E] something better. _
_ _ _ [C#m] I'm a man in _ _ love, writing you [E] a letter. _ _
_ _ _ [B] Will you take it?
Will you [E] keep it?
[C#m] Will you read it, [E] believe it?
_ [B] I love you.
I'm sorry. _ _ _ _ _ _
