           C
If I could have a single wish
         E7
I'd only wish I never miss it
          A                A7
When you wake up and smile
It makes me happy
          Dm
When you steal a little kiss
           Fm
Before you wake me up
                  C
To listen to the news for a while

                  C
And when you're creeping out of bed
          E7
I sneak a peek to see
                    A               A7
Just what you were wearing last night
                          Dm
Or what was leftover from ripping off your clothes
           Fm
I check to see that door was closed
             C                    G/B
As you were turning out the lights

Am           Am/G         D7
Whoever said romance was over
C/E  F   Fm/G# sus/G
Roll over
   C G/B   A7
So I can show you
A7/C#      Dm
Don't you want me to be
            F/G
The captain of your submarine

Chorus:
    C
Up Periscope
            D7
That's what I say
            A#   G
That's just my way
    C
Of saying that I love you

My life is like a bowl of cherries
Not so very ordinary, overflowing with love
And I could never want four
more unless our two becomes a four
Or maybe three if we practice it enough

Who ever said romance was over
Roll over
So I can show you
Don't you want me to be
the captain of your submarine

Chorus:
up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
Of saying that I love you
(I love you)


Well I know that life is hard
I know that love can break your heart
That's just the way that it is
Well baby, that's a load of smack
And don't you know I've got your back
and what's important is the way that we live

And like the way you love this song
Because it makes you hum along
and tap your foot to the beat
That's the way you make me feel
When we're doing it for real
I can feel it from my head to my feeteet

Who ever said romance was over
Roll over
So I can give you
One more chance to believe
And hopefully see
That I still want you
Don't you want me to be
the captain of your submarine

Chorus:
Up periscope
That's what I say
That's just my way
Of saying that I love you
(I love you)
