Intro:  G Cadd9 

G 
I wish I had 

I wish I had 
C9 
Learned your name 
      G 
But I couldn't read 

I couldn't speak 
   C9 
Ah nobody taught me 
Em 
Met you when you were full of lemonade 
           C 
You strode boldly 

In bold clothes 

Covered the fear 
      G 
Spent four years inside you 

Day upon day 
           C9 
You pushed colors and borders 

Lit by my gaze 
       G 
Oh the photograph 

The last gasp on steps at the end 
       C9 
Just a tiny glance 

All I ask 

Amidst all this tension 
     G 
The old man visits every day 

It's barely a love affair 
C9 
He may love me 

But I do not love him 
      Em 
Can I move to where you move 

Dash down the street 
          C 
With the degree that I gave you 

For all you gave me 
       Em 
You've demolished my heart 

Whichever room it lived in 
C9 
Oh I wish I had, I wish I had 

I wish I had learned your name 

G
