C5                     D5        E5 
I wish he was my boyfriend 
C5                    D5         E5 
I wish he was my boyfriend

I'd love him to the very end but instead he's just a friend

G5                     G5                 F5               
And waiting waiting waiting waiting by the phone 
G5                 G5 
I hope that he's at home 
F5                  F5 
Waiting by his phone 
G5                G5 
I wonder if he knows 
G5              G5 
That I want him

I wish he was my boyfriend 

G5                    G5 
The other girl is not like me 
F5                 F5 
She's prettier and skinnier 
G5                 G5 
She has a college degree 
F5                      F5 
I dropped out when I was seventeen 
G5                               G5 
If only I could get her out of the picture 
G5                        G5 
Then he would know how much I want him

I know that he knows

That he wants to be my boyfriend
