                G                 C
I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle

                  G                      C
Lighting up your living room high on the mantle

                   Am                  C
I could bring some romance without any scandal

                G                       C           G
And then when you were done you'd just put me out

               G                     C
I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen

              G                 C
Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes

        Am                                     C
I could float around your tongue and ease the tension

              G                        C            G
And then when you were done you'd just quiet down

         C
But if I get too close

         G
Will the magic fade?

        Bm              Em
Would I turn you off or away?

      C
If I pull you in

        G
Would I push you out

   Bm                      C
Of something here you care about?

         Am              C
Well I'm at a loss for what to do

        D            D7
But I'm drawn to you

                G                          C
I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips

                    G                   C
And when it got too cold into me you'd slip

             Am                         C
And when the sun came back you would hang me up

            G               C           G
And I would watch you while you undress

         C
But if I get too close

         G
Will the magic fade?

        Bm              Em 
Would I turn you off or away?

      C
If I pull you in

        G
Would I push you out

   Bm                      C
Of something here you care about?

         Am              C
Well I'm at a loss for what to do

        D               D7
But I'm drawn to you

          G
I'm not a song

           C
I am not a sweater

           G
I'm not a fire

               C
I am something better

      Am                        C
I'm a man in love writing you a letter

         G
Will you take it

         C
Will you keep it

         Am
Will you read it

C
Believe it

  G
I love you

    C
I'm sorry
