Great song. Uses basic jazz chords. If you don't know those this song probably 
isn't for you, but here's a couple of the shapes:

Cmaj7 = x35453
Cmaj7/G = 3x545x
Cm7 = x35343
Gm7 = 353333

Cmaj7   Gm7   G7
Cmaj7   Gm7   G7


[VERSE 1]
Cmaj7   Gm7          Bbmaj7
       I wish I was a willow
            Ebmaj7             F7
And I could sway to the music in the wind
Cmaj7     Gm7          Cmaj7   Cmaj7/G
       I wish I was a lover
           Ab7        G7           Cmaj7
I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend

Bbmaj7             Fmaj7
  I wish I was a mountain
D7                                       G7
  I'd pass boldly through the clouds and never end
Cmaj7   Gm7          Cmaj7
  And I wish I was a soft refrain
                      Ab7      G7              Cmaj7
 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...)

Cmaj7    Gm7         Bbmaj7
     I'd like to be a willow,
Ebmaj7                          F7
     A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
Cmaj7   Gm7           Cmaj7    Cmaj7/G
But I'd hate to be a grownup
             Ab7      G7           Cmaj7
And have to try and bear my life in pain

[SOLO]
Cmaj7   Gm7       Bbmaj7

D7                G7

Cmaj7   Gm7            Cmaj7      Cmaj7/G
I'd     wish I was a soft refrain
                     Ab7      G7             Cmaj7
When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
Fm7            Cm7

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...)

And have to try and bear my life in pain

              Ab7     G7               Cm7
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
              Ab7     G7               Cm7
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
