E7  E7  E7  E7

[Verse 1]
E7                               A7
  You spoke in Spanish on the beach
                          D7
I tried to make up my mind
                          G
Whether I could understand a word you said


[Verse 2]
E7                                 A7
  You took my hand and we walked out
                        D7
I forgot to lock the door
                        G7
You stood waiting in a long, dark dress


[Chorus 1]
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent


[Verse 3]
E7                      A7
  I feel glamorous, do you?
                        D7
With my shoes taking shots
                       G7
Oh, that sound of authority


[Verse 4]
E7                           A7
  You speak in Spanish and I turn
                         D7
To watch the musicians play
                               G7
Standing straight with their smiling eyes


[Chorus 2]
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent


[Instr.]
E7  A7  D7  G7
E7  A7  D7  G7


[Verse 5]
E7                                 A7
  I wondered what you would have done
                       D7
If I had bought the ring
                       G7
And decided to go down on one knee


[Verse 6]
E7                     A7
  And in an operatic voice
                                 D7
I would start singing with the band
                        G7
It would be so mortyfing  it makes me laugh


[Chorus 3]
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent


[Verse 7]
E7                            A7
  On the last day, we were there
                              D7
You said you wished we could stay
                              G7
Boarded the plane and everything changed


[Chorus 4]
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent
  G       D7           F    Bm7
I wished  it  could be permanent
