[F#]She rides in the front seat
G(3thf)
She's my older sister
She knows her power over [F#]me
Gmaj9(5thf) Em7 Dmaj7
She goes to bed an hour later than I do
When she turns the lights o[G7]ut
What d[Dmaj7]oes she think about?[G7]
[F]And what does she do in the day[C]light
That ma[A]kes her so gr[A7]eat?
[D]Oh but to be, [F#]oh but to be, [D]oh but to be
[F#]I'd like to be
D C# (4thf)
My older sister
[F#]She flies through the back door
She's my older sister
G(3thf) F#
She throws French phrases 'round the room
Gmaj9(5thf) Em7 Dmaj7
She has ice skates and legs that fit right in
She's [Dmaj7]wicked to all the [G7]beaming d[Dmaj7]reamers
Who'll la[G7]ter boast of an evening
[C]By her fi[A]ery si[A7]de
[D]Oh but to be, [F#]I'd like to be,[D] please let me be, oh let me be
[F#]I'd like to be
D C# (4thf)
My older sister
[D#7]And in her black gym[G#7]nastic tights
She runs into some elastic nights
S[C#7]ophisticated sister sings for the
Soldiers of the soccer team
Their sil[F7]ver I.D.'s and sororities
They tinker with love in their Model T's
Oh l[C#7]ord, won't you let me be her
For just one [F#]day
She turns ever[Dmaj7]ybody's he[Gmaj7]ads
While I w[Dmaj7]ear her last year's thr[Gmaj7]eads
[F]With patches and stit[C]ches and a tur[A]ned up h[A7]em
[D]Oh but to be, [F#]oh but to be, [D]oh but to be
[F#]Just once to be
[D]My older sister[F#]
