[INTRO]
C7M Gm7 G7
C7M Gm7 G7
[VERSE 1]
C7M Gm7 Bb7M
I wish I was a willow
Eb7M F7
And I could sway to the music in the wind
C7M Gm7 C7M C7M/G
I wish I was a lover
Ab7 G7 C7M
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend
Bb7M F7M
I wish I was a mountain
D7 G7
I'd pass boldly through the clouds and never end
C7M Gm7 C7M
And I wish I was a soft refrain
Ab7 G7 C7M
When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend
[BRIDGE - nice to play on 8th fret]
Fm7 Cm7
I strut and fret
Fm7 Cm7
My hour upon the stage
Fm7 Cm7
The hour is up
Fm7 Cm7
I have to run and hide my rage
Fm7 Cm7
I'm lost again
Fm7 Cm7
I think I'm really scared
Fm7 Cm7
I won't be back at all this time
Fm7 G7
And have my deepest secrets shared (whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaa...)
C7M Gm7 Bb7M
I'd like to be a willow,
Eb7M F7
A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
C7M Gm7 C7M C7M/G
But I'd hate to be a grownup
Ab7 G7 C7M
And have to try and bear my life in pain
