Of Montreal - Time I Wish You Were Born A Girl

F Am
tim , wish you were born a girl
A#
wish you were born a girl
Am G
so i could’ve been your boyfriend
C Dm A#
i know it’s not possible now
F C Am G
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
Am G
or at least until the afternoon
C Dm A#
and i could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
F C Am G
with just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem

F Am
and then when you got sick
A#
i could take the day off work
Am G
i could’ve made you chicken soup
C Dm
and we could watch soap operas
A#
oh , those tv dramas
F C
i could catch your cold
Am G
and you could take care of me

Am F A#
mmm , if i could’ve met you at school , or met you at work
G
it would have changed everything
Am F A#
those years of losing , confusion and insecurity
G
they would have been shared
Am A#
they would have been easier

F Am
tim , wish you were born a girl
A#
wish you were born a girl
Am G
so i could’ve been your fiance
C Dm A#
i’m not saying you can’t be all these things for me
F C
but it’s just not the same because you’re a man
F
and so Am i

Am A# Am G
C Dm A# F C ( end on ) F
