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

I'd     wish I was a soft refrain
                     Ab7      G7             C7M
When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend
