I found that the other tabs for this song were all bad, so I went and found them out 
bottom.

Tuning: Half step down.


F                         Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
                      A#
Wish you were born a girl,
   A                   Gm
So I could've been your boyfriend.
  C             Dm      A#
I know it's not possible now.
       F           C                   A       Gm
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you.
    F                     Am                   A#
And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day,
      A               Gm
Or at least until the afternoon
    C                   Dm            A#
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
     F                 C           A       Gm
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.
    F                Am                               A#
And then when you got sick,  I could take the day off work.
A                   Gm                 C                   Dm
I could've made you chicken soup,  And we could watch soap operas
            A#         F                  C
- oh, those TV dramas! I could catch your cold
              A           Gm
and you could take care of me.

   Am                            F                    A#
mmmmmm, If I could've met you at school, or met you at work,
                      Gm
It would have changed everything.
      C                    F                  A#
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity,
                     Gm
They would have been shared,
                     Am    A#
they would have been ea-si-er, oh-
F                 Am
Tim, wish you were born a girl,
                     A#
Wish you were born a girl,
   A                    Gm
So I could've been your fiancé.
    C                                 Dm         A#
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me,
                      F                     C              F
But it's just not the same because you're a man, and so am I

On the solo, he sort of slides, but I can't pin-pont exactly where, so listen to the 
to see how he does it.
