A
Those school girl days
B7          D                     A
of telling tales and biting nails are gone

But in my mind
B7          D                A
I know they will still live on and on
G#             C#m
But how do you thank someone
        G#                   C#m
who has taken you from crayons to perfume
B7      E                B7   F#7
It isn't easy but I'll tryyyyyyy
        B
If you wanted the sky
        A                     B
I'd write across the sky in letters
         A                      B
that would sour a thousand feet high
    E        F#7
To Sir, With Love
A                 B7
The time has come for closing
D                               A
 books and long last looks must end

And as I leave
B7           D               A
I know that I am leaving my best friend
G#                      C#m
A friend who taught me right from wrong
    G#
and weak from strong,
          C#m
that's a lot to learn
B7                E             B7 F#7
What! what can I give you in retuuuuurn
     B
If you wanted the moon
        A                      B
I would try to make a start But I
           A                     B
would rather you let me give my heart
   E       F#7
To Sir, With Love
A
Those awkward years
 B               D                 A
I have hurried by why did they fly away

Why is it Sir
B              D                A
children grow up to be people some day
G#                        C#m
What takes the place of climbing trees
       G#                           C#m
and dirty knees in the world outside
B7             E            B7 F#7
What is there for you I can buuuuy
      B
If you wanted the world
       A                           B
I'd surround it with a wall I'd scrawl
      A                           B
These words with letters ten feet tall
E           F#7
To Sir, With Love
