E                 A
I wish that I was older
                  E
old enough to be yours
  A
Hmmm..
    E                  A
And I wish that I was wiser
                          E
Wise enough to be strong-minded
                     A
To keep up with the words you say,
                     B
it makes me feel so young
 A
ooooh

                                E
And I don't know where this is going
             B
I just been hoping
A                                         E
And I can see by your smile that you're glowing
B
Inside ah,
A                                       E
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is
              B            A
when I just started to realize
        B      E
That I love you

And I wish that we were strangers
Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd
And I wish that we were closer
Close enough for me to hold you
When your lonely nights become too long to bear

Chorus

A
You hold your head up high
             E    C#m A
Though it's hard to
A
I can't keep back
               E      C#m A
I know I just want you

Chorus

I love you
