To Sir, with Love

Those schoolgirl days

(B)of telling tales and biting (A)nails are gone.

But in my mind

(B)I know they will

(A)still live on and on.

(G#)But how do you (C#m)thank someone who has (G#)taken you from crayons to perfume?

(B)Oh, it isn't (E)easy, but I'll try.

(B)If you wanted the sky, I would (A)write across the sky in (B)letters that (A)would soar a thousand (B)feet high,

"To sir, with love."

(A)The time has come,

(B)for closing (D)books and long last looks must end.

And as I leave,

(B)I know that (D)I am leaving (A)my best friend;

(G#)a friend who (C#m)taught me right from wrong,

and weak from strong.

That's a lot to learn.

(B)What can I (E)give you in return?

(B)If you wanted the moon, I would (A)try to make a start,

(B)but I would (A)rather you let me (B)give my heart.

To sir, with love.
