[Verse]
G
He takes your hand
C
I die a little
G
I watch your eyes
C
And I'm in riddles
Em              C              G
Why can't you look at me like that
G
When you walk by
C
I try to say it
G
But then I freeze
C
And never do it
Em              C
My tongue gets tied
                G
The words get trapped
[Pre-Chorus]
G            Em                           C
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder
                D
Whenever I'm near you
[Chorus]
G                        Em
But I see you with him slow dancing
C
Tearing me apart
                 G    D
'Cause you don't see
          G
Whenever you kiss him
Em
I'm breaking,
C          D               G
Oh how I wish that was me
[Verse]
G
He looks at you
C
The way that I would
G                      C
Does all the things, I know that I could
G       Em                    G
If only time could just turn back
[Pre-Chorus]
G              Em
'Cause I got three little words
            C                      D
That I've always been dying to tell you
[Chorus]
        G                Em
But I see you with him slow dancing
C
Tearing me apart
                 G    D
'Cause you don't see
          G
Whenever you kiss him
Em
I'm breaking,
C          D          Em
Oh how I wish that was me
[Bridge]
                       C
With my hands on your waist
             C           D
While we dance in the moonlight
               Em
I wish it was me
                       C
That you'll call later on
                              D
'Cause you wanna say good night
[Breakdown]
             G              Em
'Cause I see you with him slow dancing
C
Tearing me apart
                 G
'Cause you don't see
[Chorus]
G                        Em
But I see you with him slow dancing
C
Tearing me apart
                 G    D
'Cause you don't see
          G
Whenever you kiss him
Em
I'm breaking,
C              D
Oh how I wish
C             D
Oh how I wish
C           D          Em D C
Oh how I wish, that was me
C          D           G
Oh how I wish, that was me
