A                     C#m           F#m
I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
                  Bm
Or sat on a tatty settee
Dm
At some mutual friend's gathering

A                        C#m
And the more you keep on looking
              F#m
The more it's hard to take
               Bm
Love, we're in stale mate

Dm                                  C#m
To never meet is surely where we're bound
                     Bm
There's one in every town
                          Dm ***
Just there to grind you down


A                   C#m             F#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

A           C#m                    F#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#m            Bm
So give me the invite...
                 Dm ***
Don't worry it's alright...


A        C#m                         F#m
I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
                  Bm     Dm                               A
Sipping on a lemonade in the paper cup and chewing on the straw
               C#m         F#m
and I wish I'd seen you in the bakery
                           Bm     Dm
         But if
seen you in the bakery... (PAUSE)  you probably wouldn't have seen me

Optional outro: A F#m Dm F A
