Album: "WWII"

11/19/05

CAPO I

INTRO: C

C F

Well I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose

G C

Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes

C F

Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store

G C

With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for

CHORUS:

C F

I wish I was a teddy bear

G C

No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere

C F

I wish I was a teddy bear

C G C

And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind

Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time

With a sowed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eyes

Then I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

CHORUS

(KEY CHANGE)

D G

I wish I had a string you could pull that would make me say

A D

What you wanna hear from me to make you stay

D G

And I'd know every time I spoke the words were right

A D

And no one would know what a mess I've made of my life

CHORUS:

D G

I wish I was a teddy bear

A D

No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere

D G

I wish I was a teddy bear

D A D

And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you

(repeat CHORUS and fade)
