I Wish

Em               B
Strung out on a man that I’m
Am              C
thinking I can save
D7                           B7
The doses wax, the pleasures wane
         Em
And you stand with arms
      B
outstretched
         Am                C
Looking simple, fine, and plain
B         A           Em
I wish I loved you anyway

Em            B
Him with his boyish eyes
Am          C
You with a vacant smile
D7                   B7
If only people ever changed
         Em             B
But I’m quite set in my ways
             Am            C
And you’re blesséd as the day
B          A          Em
I wish I loved you anyway

C                  Em
You and I weren’t made for love
C                     Em
Get it straight, our time won’t come
Dm              Am
I was told when I was young
B
No crying in the rain

Em              B
Hung up on the thought that the
Am               C
future could be light
D7                       B7
I liked your bright naiveté
Em               B
But every clever man
       Am          C
Has a melancholic mind
B          A           Em
I wish I loved you anyway

Em                B
Held down by the albatross
Am               C
Strung up like a giant cross
D7                       B7
I always break under its weight
            Em              B
‘Cause I’m quite set in my ways
         Am          C
You were just a holiday
B         A           C
I wish I loved you anyway

C              Em
Maybe I’m not made for love
C                 Em
Maybe you’re too good for us
Dm                       Am
But your light heart for my dark lust
B
I guess I’ll never trade

Em           B
It’s like I say
          Am         C
You were just a holiday
B         A           Em
I wish I loved you anyway
B         A           Em
I wish I loved you anyway
