Verse
[C] [D]
Those school girl days
[F] [C]
of telling tales and biting nails are gone
[C] [D]
But in my mind
[F] [C]
I know they will still live on and on
Pre-Chorus
[B7] [Em]
But how do you thank someone
[B7] [Em]
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
[D] [G] [D] [A7] (xx2223)
It isn't easy but I'll try
Chorus
[D]
If you wanted the sky
[C] [D]
I'd write across the sky in letters
[C] [D]
that would soar a thousand feet high
[G] [A] (riff)
To Sir, With Love
Verse
[C] [D]
The time has come
[F] [C]
for closing books and long last looks must end
[C] [D]
And as I leave
[F] [C]
I know that I am leaving my best friend
Pre-Chorus
[B7] [Em]
A friend who taught me right from wrong
[B7] [Em]
and weak from strong, that's a lot to learn
[D] [G] [D] [A7]
What! what can I give you in return
Chorus
[D]
If you wanted the moon
[C] [D]
I would try to make a start But I
[C] [D]
would rather you let me give my heart
[G] [A] (riff)
To Sir, With Love
Verse
[C] [D]
Those awkward years
[F] [C]
have hurried by why did they fly away
[C] [D]
Why is it Sir
[F] [C]
children grow up to be people some day
Pre-Chorus
[B7] [Em]
What takes the place of climbing trees
[B7] [Em]
and dirty knees in the world outside
[D] [G] [D] [A7]
What is there for you I can buy
Chorus
[D]
If you wanted the world
[C] [D]
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
[C] [D]
These words with letters ten feet tall
[G] [A] (riff) (end on strummed [C])
To Sir, With Love
