  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 stalemate 
   Dm                               C#m 
to never meet is surely where we're bound 
                     Bm 
there's one in every town 
  
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 a mind on clever lines 
A           C#m               F#m 
why not the rounders pitch or the canteen 
                                 Bm 
you're slacking love, where have you been? 
     Dm                         C#m 
Just had to go and wait until tonight 
                 Bm 
so give me the invite 
  
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 I'd seen you in the bakery    you probably wouldn't have seen me
