chords C G C F G . . . . . just try and keep up . it’s pretty fast .

[ C ] i’ve all my [ G ] wisdom teeth

[ C ] two up to , [ F ] two be [ G ] neath

mornings we have toast and tea

i gaze across the table , she glares right back a t me .

and when we’re running low on jam

i give her the last spoonful , that’s just the way i Am

and i drive her to work each day

even though it’s early and work is far away

and i don’t even say a thing

when she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

[ G ] i can’t stand her [ F ] goddamned [ C ] friends

but [ F ] i will toler [ C ] ate them , [ F ] even though i
them

and [ G ] i will put up with [ F ] her par [ C ] ents

’cause she says [ F ] i’ll not ever [ C ] meet someone who [ F ] is so
and

[ C ] sweet ever ag [ G ] ain [ F ] [ C ]

back to chorus * * *

i’ve all my wisdom teeth

two up top , two beneath

and yet i’ll recognise

my mouth says things that aren’t so wise

but when i sing my darling’s praise

i know i’m right , or close anyways

for she’s a gem upon this earth

i know to me she will return

back to chours * * *

and [ C ] she’ll be [ G ] coming back . . . . . [ F ] soon [ G ]
