Bruce Springsteen - With Every Wish: chords

E
When I was a kid my only wish we to get
    B
my line in him
          A            E                   A
Skipped church one Sunday rowed out and throw'd
       E
in my line
               A             E       A         B
Jim took that hook pole and me right over the side
               A             E
Went driftin' down past old tires and
 A              E
rusty cans of beer
    A             E             A      B
The angel of the lake whispered in my ear
              A          E
"Before you choose your wish son
     A            E
You better think first
     A     C#m              B  E
With every wish there comes a curse."

I fell in love with beautiful Doreen
She was the prettiest thing this old town'd
ever seen
I courted her and I made her mine
But I grew jealous whenever another man'd
come walkin' down the line
And my jealousy made me treat her mean and cruel
She sighed "Bobby, oh Bobby, you're such a fool
Don't you know before you choose your wish,
you'd better think first?
'Cause with every wish, there comes a curse"

These days I sit around and laugh at
the many rivers I've crossed
But on the far banks, there's always
another forest where a man can get lost
Well, there in the high trees, love's
bluebird glides
Guiding us 'cross to another river on
the other side
And there, someone is waitin' with
a look in her eyes
And though my heart's grown weary and
more than a little bit shy
Tonight I'll drink from her waters
to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry with every wish
