A                   Dbm           Gbm
I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
                  Bm
or sat on a tatty settee
        Dm
at some mutual friend's gathering
        A                Dbm
and the more you keep on looking
              Gbm
the more it's hard to take
                Bm
love, we're in stale mate
   Dm                               Dbm
to never meet is surely where we're bound
                     Bm
there's one in every town

just there to grind you down


  A                 Dbm             Gbm
I wish I would have seen you in the post office
                     Bm
well maybe I did and I missed it
    Dm
too busy with a mind on clever rhymes
A           Dbm               Gbm
why not the rounders pitch or the canteen 
                                 Bm
you're slacking love, where have you been?
     Dm                         Dbm
Just had to go and wait until tonight
                 Bm
so give me the invite

don't worry it's alright


  A                 Dbm              Gbm
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
                 Bm          Dm                            A
sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw
                        Dbm             Gbm
and I wish I would have seen you in the bakery
                           Bm    Dm
but if I'd seen you in the bakery  you probably wouldn't have seen me
