Verse 1:
C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Or sat on a tatty settee
FF FF
At some mutual friend's gathering
C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
And the more you keep on looking, the more it's hard to take
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Love, we're in stalemate
FF FF E7E7
To never meet is surely where we're bound
E7E7 DmDm
There's one in every town
DmDm F# minorF#m
Just there to grind you down
Verse 2:
C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
I wish I would have seen you in the post office
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Well, maybe I did and I missed it
FF FF C majorC
Too busy with the mind on clever lines
E7E7 A minorAm
Why not the rounders pitch or the canteen?
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
You're slacking, love, where have you been?
FF FF E7E7
Just had to go and wait until tonight
E7E7 DmDm
To give me the invite
DmDm F# minorF#m
Don't worry, it's alright
Verse 3:
C majorC E7E7 A minorAm
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Sipping on a lemonade

In the paper cup and chewing on the straw
E7E7 A minorAm
And I wish I'd seen you in the bakery
A minorAm DmDm DmDm
But if I'd seen you in the bakery
FF F# minorF#m C majorC
You probably wouldn't have seen me
