[Intro 1]
[D][Em][A][D][Em][A]
[D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I Wish I had a story to [D]tell[C]
[G]I Wish I knew the[Bb] story of
the card[A]board man,
[D]Or the Talking filmcanister, Or
the Spoon that [C]Moved
[G]I Wish I knew the one
about the [A]wise guru
[D]Or the honest Lizard
I wish I knew about the dog
that [C]dressed like a cat,
[G]Or the mule [Bb]that walked [A]like [D]rock
Or the tornado who swam like a
statue of Car[C]men [G]Miranda
I Wish I knew all [A]these [D]stories or had
the inclination [Em]to make them up
[F#m]I Wish I[G] could sit on soft p[A]illows
and [D]drink molten lava
I Wish I could make love to the [Em]sky
I Wish [D]I could eat [G]the corn
of Joy [A]and [D]Sorrow
I Wish the sky was [C]green and
my body [G]was bright [Bb]blue
[A]I Wish I could talk s[D]ideways
and back[A]wards
[D]I Wish I could drive the tra[C]ctor of Innocence
[G]and return the[Bb] the life I never[A]
[D]Knew
I Wish I could drink chocolate
champaigne
I Wish I [C]had that Fax Num[G]ber
I Wish I [A]nothing could mean [D]something and
that everbody could have everything
Some wishes come [C]true
[G]Some of this [Bb]wishes will [A]come true
[D]Others, are destined to become
[Em]dreams deferred,
[D]Shrivel[G]ing up like [A]grapes with sun [D]tans,
But all is not lost,
[Em]No, all is not lost,
[G]not yet[A][D][C][G][Bb]
[A][D][C][G][Gm]
[A][D]
[C]I[G][Gm][A][D]
Wish I had 3 eyes,
[C]but of course, I have 3 e[Gm]yes
[A]I have clavoyant paran[D]oia
I have precogant disetence
I have many other [C]ways
of seeing at [G]my disposal
I [A]have a garbage disposal,
[D]dinner plans and dog bisquets
I have many [C]many op[D]tions [G]and a strong
[Gm]sense [A]that freedom comes with in[D]
But I shall never find it
Freedom [C]is lost, Fail[D]ure is [G]just around
[Bb]the corner [A]and the only thing that
Con[D]soles me is the sound of my voice,
and the fact that I [C]don't cut [G]my self
[A]Shaving as I used too
