Verse 1

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

Chorus

E But if I get too close B Will the magic fade? D#m G#m Would I turn you off or away? E If I pull you in B Would I push you out D#m E Of something here you care about? C#m E Well I'm at a loss for what to do F# F#7 But I'm drawn to you

Verse 2

B E I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips B E And when it got too cold into me you'd slip C#m E And when the sun came back you would hang me up B E B And I would watch you while you undress

Chorus

Verse 3

B I'm not a song E I am not a sweater B I'm not a fire E I am something better C#m E I'm a man in love writing you a letter B Will you take it E Will you keep it C#m Will you read it E Believe it B I love you E I'm sorry.
