AC#mF#m I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
Bm Or sat on a tatty settee
Dm At some mutual friend's gathering
 
AC#m And the more you keep on looking
F#m The more it's hard to take
Bm Love, we're in stale mate
 
DmC#m To never meet is surely where we're bound
Bm There's one in every town
Dm *** Just there to grind you down
AC#mF#m I wish I would have seen you in the post office
Bm Well, maybe I did and I missed it...
Dm Too busy with the mind on clever rhymes
 
AC#mF#m why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen?
Bm You're slacking Love; where have you been?
Dm Just had to go and wait until tonight...
 Rhythm guitar solo: 
A C#m F#m Bm Dm
 
C#mBm So give me the invite...
Dm *** Don't worry it's alright...
AC#mF#m I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
BmDmA Sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw
C#mF#m and I wish I'd seen you in the bakery
BmDm But if
seen you in the bakery... (PAUSE) you probably wouldn't have seen me 
Optional outro: A F#m Dm F A
