F Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
A#
Wish you were born a girl,
A Gm
So I could've been your boyfriend.
C Dm A#
I know it's not possible now.
F C A Gm
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you.
F Am A#
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
A Gm
Or at least until the afternoon
C Dm A#
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
F C A Gm
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.
F Am A#
And then when you got sick, I could take the day off work.
A Gm C Dm
I could've made you chicken soup, And we could watch soap operas
A# F C
- oh, those TV dramas! I could catch your cold
A Gm
and you could take care of me.
Am F A#
mmmmmm, If I could've met you at school, or met you at work,
Gm
It would have changed everything.
C F A#
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity,
Gm
They would have been shared,
Am A#
they would have been ea-si-er, oh-
F Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
A#
Wish you were born a girl,
A Gm

C Dm A#
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
F C F
But it's just not the same because you're a man, and so am I
