[INTRO] E A E A
[VERSE]
E                  A
I wish that I was older,
A                  E      A
Old enough to be yours, mhmm
    E                 A
And I wish that I was wiser,
A                        E
Wise enough to be strong-minded,
E                    A
To keep up with the words you say
A                     B
That make me feel so young

[CHORUS]
A                                 E
But I don't know where this is going,
               B
I've just been hoping
A
And I can see by your smile
              E       B        A
That you're glowing inside and out
A                                       E
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is,
                 B           A
When I'm just starting to realize
       B          E
That I love you, ooh

[INSTRUMENTAL] E A B

[VERSE]
    E                      A
And I wish that we were strangers,
                       E                  A
Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd
     E                   A
And I wish that we were closer,
                        E
Close enough for me to hold you
  E                         A               B
When your lonely nights become too long to bear

[CHORUS]
A                                 E
But I don't know where this is going,
               B
I've just been hoping
A
And I can see by your smile
              E       B        A
That you're glowing inside and out
A                                       E
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is,
                 B           A
When I'm just starting to realize
       B          E
That I love you, ooh

[INSTRUMENTAL] E A B

[BRIDGE]
A
You hold your head up high,
            E        C#m A
Though it's hard to, ooh
A
I can't keep back,
                   E   C#m A B
I know I just want you, ooh

[CHORUS]
A                                 E
But I don't know where this is going,
               B
I've just been hoping
A
And I can see by your smile
              E       B        A
That you're glowing inside and out
A                                       E
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is,
                 B           A
When I'm just starting to realize
       B          E A B
That I love you, ooh
         E
I love you..
