[Verse 1]
GIf I was your sweetheart
ACnd you were my darling
I'Dd always remember
ThGe way you look now
GEven here in this diner
CYour bright eyes shining
AnDd you're always smiling
WhGen you're by my side
[Bridge 1]
CAnd that man is rude
He Gtalks to you just like you were his wife
DBut GI would be more kind
CMy coffee cup has been filled up
GFor the seventh time
DAnd you're so on my mind
[Verse 2]
GIf I was your secret
CAnd you were my keeper
I Dthink we'd be happy
OGr rarely be blue
WeG'd run around laughing
AnCd maybe go out dancing
IDf I was your sweetheart
AnGd you were my darling
[Bridge 2]
CAnd all I'd ever want from you
GIs that you would keep it true
DAnd GI'd write songs for you
CAnd we could round the world to see
GAll the disappearing things
DAnd then we'd vanish too
GIf I was your sweetheart
[Bridge 3]
CThat man is rude
He Gtalks to you just like you were his wife
DBut GI would be more kind
CMy coffee cup has been filled up
GFor the seventh time
DAnd you're so on my mind
[Verse 3]
GIf I was your sweetheart
CAnd you were my darling
DI'd take off your apron
YouG've been a good waitress

[Verse 1]

If I was your sweetheart

And you were my darling

I'd always remember

The way you look now

Even here in this diner

Your bright eyes shining

And you're always smiling

When you're by my side

[Bridge 1]

And that man is rude

He talks to you just like you were his wife

D G

But I would be more kind

My coffee cup has been filled up

For the seventh time

And you're so on my mind

[Verse 2]

If I was your secret

And you were my keeper

I think we'd be happy

Or rarely be blue

We'd run around laughing

And maybe go out dancing

If I was your sweetheart

And you were my darling

[Bridge 2]

And all I'd ever want from you

Is that you would keep it true

D G

And I'd write songs for you

And we could round the world to see

All the disappearing things

And then we'd vanish too

If I was your sweetheart

[Bridge 3]

That man is rude

He talks to you just like you were his wife

D G

But I would be more kind

My coffee cup has been filled up

For the seventh time

And you're so on my mind

[Verse 3]

If I was your sweetheart

And you were my darling

I'd take off your apron

You've been a good waitress
