Wish I Could Say Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I used to cry the blues,
I [A]could only draw or lose
I stored up my hate and I used it
As bait for the people I ab[D]used

[Verse 2]
Teachers who couldn't [D]teach
And [A]preachers who couldn't
preach
Who wasted our time on
Wasting their breath on people
That they'd never [D]reach

[Verse 3]
Wish I could say I was [A]better
Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true,
[Em]and it was 'cause of y[A]ou

[Verse 4]
I [D]wish I could say I was better
[A]Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true,
[Em]and it was 'cause of y[A]ou
I [D]used to know the

[Verse 5]
score
But [A]still say it was more
Then every act or recorded fact
That ever [Em]went be[D]fore

[Verse 6]
Believe me when I say [A]I
thought I knew the way
To whiten the black and blacken
the white
And change the night to [D]day

[Verse 7]

[A]Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true,
[Em]and it was 'cause of y[A]ou

[Verse 10]
better
[A]Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true,
[Em]and it was 'cause of you

[Verse 11]
[A]I wis[D]h I could say I was better
[A]Wish I could say I was better
I wish that it was true,
[Em]and it was 'cause of y[A]ou
An[Em]d it was 'cause of [A]you
And [Em]it was 'cause
And it was 'cause
And it was [A]'cause of [D]you
