Intro:

D    F#m7   G    D


Verse 1:
D
I wish I was a reader,
              F#m7
And I wish I was,
F#m7
The kind of daughter,
               G
That calls her mom,
G
With stupid questions,
               D
Or anything at all.

Verse 2:
D
And I wish that I was smaller,
            F#m7
Or I wish I was,
F#m7
Better at being kind,
                          G
To the one body that I’ve got,
G
After all, it keeps be breathin’,
                     Bm7   A    G
‘Til the day it just cannot


Chorus:
G                                A
I wish I didn’t feel like a burden,
Bm7   A     G
All  the time,
G
Wish I were certain,
             A      Bm7   A    G
I wanna live this kind of life.


Verse 3:
D
I wish I didn’t linger,
         F#m7
On every thought,
F#m7
Reshaping every moment,
                       G
To the point of losing touch,
G
Wish I was in my body,
                     Bm7   A    G
Instead of hovering above.


Verse 4:
D
And I wish that I was harder,
             F#m7
And I wish I was less of a feeler,
                       G
So it wouldn’t hurt so much,
G
But I offer all my pillows,
                     A
And I give my bed to lay,
                     Bm7            D                G
I’m a shoulder for a cry until the tears melt me away.


Chorus:
G                                A
I wish I didn’t feel like a burden,
Bm7   A     G
All  the time,
G
Wish I were certain,
             A      Bm7   A    G
I wanna live this kind of life.


Verse 5:
D     G/C#              Bm7
  I wish that I was smarter,
D/G#           A
And I wish I could,
   D/G#         A                       A7        G
Communicate a thought without being misunderstood,
G
But it’s better keeping quiet,
                        Bm7   A    G
Yeah, it’s easy staying put


Verse 6:
D
And I wish I didn’t cater,
              F#m7
When I know I should,
F#m7
Stop begging for forgiveness,
                          Em7
And start putting down my foot,
                        Fmaj7
I’m just used to people pleasing,
                          A
Yeah, I’ve gotten way too good,
                        Bm7            A              G
I think I’ve become the person that I said I never would.


Chorus:
G                                A
I wish I didn’t feel like a burden,
Bm7   A     G
All  the time,
G
Wish I were certain,
             A      Bm7   A    G
I wanna live this kind of life.


Outro:
G
I wish I didn’t, (I wish I didn’t),
               A
Feel like a burden,
Bm7   A       G
Ah
ohoh,
G
I wish I wasn’t, (I wish I wasn’t),
                 A
So scared of something,
Bm7     A       G
Ahah
ohoh,
G
I wish these wishes,
                  A
Weren’t all for nothing,
Bm7  A     G
All the time.
