Reneé Rapp – I Wish Chords on Piano & Ukulele

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, the older we get, the colors
 they change
       B            B/A#
Yeah, hair turns to grey
         G#m7           B7
but the blue stays the same
   Emaj7   F#add6  B
Oh I wish, I       wish

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

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