Reneé Rapp - I Wish

[Intro]
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7

[Verse 1]
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7
I was ten years old when I realized some goodbyes are forever
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7
So what’s that mean for you and I? I thought we’d always be together

[Pre-Chorus]
Emaj7 F#add6 D#m
How can the person who taught me to breathe
G#m7 F#add6 Emaj7
Take their last breath right in front of me? I know too much now

[Chorus]
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
Could still see the colors, but they’re not as clear or as bright
Emaj7 F#add6
Oh, the older we get, the colors they faint
B B/A# G#m7 B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue’s here to stay
Emaj7 F#add6 B
So I wish, I wish

[Verse 2]
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7
I remember seeing my dad cry, for the first time, we were downstairs
Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7
Talkin’ ’bout how his dad died and how he wished he could’ve been there

[Pre-Chorus]
Emaj7 F#add6 D#m
He said “How could the person who taught me to breathe
G#m7 F#add6 Emaj7
Take their last breath not in front of me?” I know too much now

[Chorus]
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
Could still see the colors, but they’re not as clear or as bright
Emaj7 F#add6
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
B B/A# G#m7 B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
Emaj7 F#add6 B
Oh I wish, I wish

[Bridge]
Emaj7 F#add6 G#m7 F#add6 Emaj7
Stay a little longer, I’m not ready for you to go
Emaj7 F#add6 G#m7 F#add6 Emaj7
It hasn’t even happened, but I have been mourning since ten years old
Emaj7 Em
Stay a little longer

[Chorus]
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7 F#add6 B B/A# G#m7
Could still see the colors, but they’re not as clear or as bright
Emaj7 F#add6
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
B B/A# G#m7 B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue’s here to stay
Emaj7 F#add6 B Emaj7 B
So I wish, I wish
