CAPO I
INTRO: C
[C]Well I wish I had button eyes and a red felt [F]nose
[G]Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of c[C]lothes
[C]Sittin' on a shelf in a local department [F]store
With no [G]dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry [C]for
CHORUS:
I wish I [C]was a teddy [F]bear
No livin' nor [G]lovin' nor goin' no[C]where
I wish I [C]was a teddy [F]bear
And I [C]wish that I never had [G]fallen in love with [C]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)
I [D]wish I had a string you could pull that would make me [G]say
[A]What you wanna hear from me to make you [D]stay
And I'd [D]know every time I spoke the words were [G]right
And [A]no one would know what a mess I've made of my [D]life
CHORUS:
I wish I [D]was a teddy [G]bear
No livin' nor l[A]ovin' nor goin' [D]nowhere
I wish I [D]was a teddy [G]bear
And I [D]wish that I never had [A]fallen in love with [D]you
(repeat CHORUS and fade)
