[VERSE 1]
C5   G5          Bb5
       I wish I was a willow
            Eb5             F5
And I could sway to the music in the wind
C5     G5          C5   C5
       I wish I was a lover
           Ab5        G5           C5
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend

Bb5             F5
  I wish I was a mountain
D5                                       G5
  I'd pass boldly through the clouds and never end
C5   G5          C5
  And I wish I was a soft refrain
                      Ab5      G5              C5
 When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend

[BRIDGE - nice to play on 8th fret]
F5            C5
  I strut and fret
F5                  C5
  My hour upon the stage
F5          C5
The hour is up
          F5              C5
I have to run and hide my rage
F5         C5
  I'm lost again
F5                    C5
  I think I'm really scared
F5                   C5
  I won't be back at all this time
         F5                  G5
And have my deepest secrets shared (whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaa...)

C5    G5         Bb5
     I'd like to be a willow,
Eb5                          F5
     A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
C5   G5           C5    C5
But I'd hate to be a grownup
             Ab5      G5           C5
And have to try and bear my life in pain

C5   G5            C5      C5
I'd     wish I was a soft refrain
                     Ab5      G5             C5
When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend

And I have to try to bear my life in pain
              Ab5     G5               C5
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
              Ab5     G5               C5
And I have to try to bear my life in pain

And I have to try to bear my life in pain
