I Wish Chords

[Intro]
C D G G/F# Em x2
 
[Verse 1]
      C                    D
I was ten years old when I realized
G                 Em
Some goodbyes are forever
   C                    D            G                        Em
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C             D                       B
  How can the person who taught me to breathe
                Em     D                 C
Take their last breath right in front of me?
C
I know too much now
 
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        C        N.C.     D           N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   C       D      G
So I wish, I wish
 
[Verse 2]
  C                  D
I remember seeing my dad cry
G                           Em
For the first time, we were downstairs
C                     D
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
    G                         Em
And how he wished he could've been there
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       C               D                       B
He said "How could the person who taught me to breathe
                Em     D               C
Take their last breath not in front of me?"
C
I know too much now
 
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        C        N.C.     D           N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
   C       D      G
Oh I wish, I wish
 
[Bridge]
C               D
  Stay a little longer
G         Em        G      C
  I'm not ready for you to go
               D
It hasn't even happened
Em                               D         C
  But I have been mourning since ten years old
              Cm
Stay a little longer
 
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        C                 D
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   C       D      G
So I wish, I wish
