(Capo on 4th) Em G D Cadd9 Em G If I were you, & I wish that I were you D Cadd9 All the things I'd do to make myself turn blue Em G I suppose I'd start by removing all my clothes D Cadd9 Tie my pantyhose around my neck G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 I'll be that girl and you would be right over D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were a field you would be in clover D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were the sun you would be in shadows D G Cadd9 D Em And if I had a gun there'd be no tomorrows G If you will not have me as myself D Cadd9 Em Perhaps as someone else perhaps as you I'll be worth noticing G Then even a eunuch won't resist D Cadd9 The magic of a kiss from such as me G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 I'll be that girl & you would be right over D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were a field you would be in clover D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were the sun you would be in shadow D G Cadd9 D G And if I had a gun there'd be no tomorrow G Cadd9 D G It's time to kick off your shoes learn how to choose sadness Cadd9 D G Cadd9 G It's time to throw off those chains addle our brains with madness Cadd9 D Cause we got plenty of time to grow old and die Cadd9 D Em But when at last your beauty's faded you'll be glad that I have waited for you G D Cadd9 Em G When you're done with being beautiful & young D Cadd9 When that course is run, then come to me G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 I'll be that girl - and you would be right over D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were a field, you would be in clover D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 If I were the sun, you would be in shadow D G Cadd9 D G And if I had a gun, there'd be no tomorrow Cadd9 D G There'd be no tomorrow Cadd9 D G There'd be no tomorrow Cadd9 D G There'd be no tomorrow Cadd9 D G There'd be no tomorrow Cadd9 D G
