Verse 1

  If I could have a single wish

  I'd only wish to never miss it when you wake up and smile

  It makes me happy when you steal a little kiss

  Before you wake me up to listen to the news for a while

Verse 2

  And when you're creeping out of bed

  I sneak a peek to see just what you were wearing last night

  Or what was leftover from ripping off your clothes

  I check to see that door was closed as you were turning out the light

TRANSITION 1:

Pre-chorus 1

  Whoever said romance was over?

  Roll over, so I can show you

  Don't you want me to be

  N/

The captain of your submarine?

Chorus 1

  "Up periscope" - that's what I say

  That's just my way

  * N/

Of saying that I love you (I do)

Verse 3

  My life is like a bowl of cherries not so very ordinary

  Overflowing with love

  And I could never want for more unless our two becomes a four or maybe three

  If we practice it enough

TRANSITION 2:

Pre-chorus 2

  Whoever said romance was over?

  Roll over, so I can show you

  Don't you want me to be

  N/

The captain of your submarine?

Chorus 2

  "Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say

  That's just my way

  * N/

Of saying that I love you (I love you)

Bridge

  Now, 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

  Don't you know I've got your back?

  What's important is the way that we live

Verse 4

  And like the way you like 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 feet

TRANSITION 3:

PRE-OUTRO:

  Whoever 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?

Outro

  "Up periscope" ("up periscope") - that's what I say

  That's just my way

  Of saying that I love you, I love you

INTRO [Keyboard]:

Verse 1

  Give me a reason, make up your mind

  Darling, only a fool couldn't see through us

  And know what we do

  (You know what we do)

TRANSITION 1:

Verse 2

  Just because you're a fan

  Doesn't mean you've joined the band and found a way

  To make them think that you're a star, silly girl

  Only I can fool the world, it's plain to see

  'Cause you're just like me

Pre-chorus 2

  You know, and I know, and I know

It's always better when

Verse 1

  People around the world say I'm bitter

  But I can say I'm not a quitter

And you can't

Verse 2

  And people know they don't apologize

  That's why we have to advertise

  In the paper ("Sunday News!")

Pre-chorus 1

  I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you

I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

  Until the birds are singing

Chorus 1

  So do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be

  Live how you wanna live

  If you wanna be free, then you're gonna be free

Verse 3

  But people, don't you know its not polite to point and stare?

  No, that's not the way to show you care

  About the way you live, but I bet you don't give a-

Verse 4

  People, you've got to give it up where credit's due

  But you only did it 'cause I told you to

  Well too bad, so sad, hope I didn't make you mad

Pre-chorus 2

  I can't make you stop, and listen, that won't save you

I can't believe everybody wants to party all night long

  It's like a fantasy that you never find

  Right in front of me all the time

Verse 1

Right in front of me

  A couple makes what could melt the snow

Making fun of me

  Single look never cut me so

  I know a deeper contemplation

  Is all I need to make believe

  Everyone would love me if I could fool the world

TRANSITION 1:

Verse 2

Walk away from me

  I see the change in the atmosphere

What a way to be (to be)

What a troubled mind

  A fortune find for another day

As you're passing by

  You look behind to see what I would say

  Is all I need to make believe

  Everyone would love me (If I could fool the world)

  So I go to save the conversation

  I know (I know) a deep contemplation

  Is all I need to make be-lieve

Everyone would love me, if I could fool... the world

Bridge

I can't survive another day in the life, without our day in the sun

Before you touch me here's a word of advice; if I were you I would run

  (Get it, come get it, come get it, come get it)

  N/

(So won't you tell me why it is...)

  That every corner of my head is a home, but every fool is the same

It'd be so tragic if you left me alone, but left me no-one to blame

Bridge 2

  Well don't it make you wonder what got us here?

  The covers that were under could disappear

  Promises keep us in chains, my dear...

Outro

If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

  (What am I feeling?)

  If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

  (What am I feeling?)

  If I could fool the world, then no-one would know where I've been

Did he tie you down?

Lastly, the content here is as correct as I can get it. I've tabbed this out in

the manner which Drake performs it; if you prefer to perform it different then

that is absolutely fine. However, 100% accuracy cannot ever be ensured, but a good

90% of the content in here certainly is.

Thanks for reading guys, I hope this proves useful!
