Reneé Rapp - I Wish: chords

       E                    F#
I was ten years old when I realized
 B                  G#m
Some goodbyes are forever
     E                   F#             B
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought
                 G#m
we'd always be together

E           F#                       D#m
How can the person who taught me to breathe
                G#m     F#                E
Take their last breath right in front of me?
E
I know too much now

Chorus:
E      F#        B           F#/A#
I wish I could still see the world through those
G#m
eyes
E                    F#           B
Could still see the colors, but they're
        F#/A#       G#m
not as clear or as bright
        E           F#
Oh, the older we get, the colors they faint
       B             F#/A#        G#m          Bmaj7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   E       F#     B
So I wish, I wish

I remember seeing my dad cry
For the first time, we were downstairs
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
And how he wished he could've been there

He said, "How could the person who taught me
to breathe
Take their last breath not in front of me?"
I know too much now

Chorus:
I wish I could still see the world through
those eyes
I still see the colors, but they're not as
clear or as bright
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
Yeah, hair turns to gray but the blue stays
the same
Oh, I wish, I wish

E              F#
Stay a little longer
G#m       F#              E
I'm not ready for you to go
E               F#
It hasn't even happened
G#m              F#                      E
But I have been mourning since ten years old
               Em
Stay a little longer

Chorus:
I wish I could still see the world through
those eyes
Could still see the colors, but they're not
as clear or as bright
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
Yeah, hair turns to gray but the blue's
here to stay
So I wish, I wish
