1. I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger,
Am F
I wished I loved Jesus, the
way my wife does.

I wish it had been easier,
instead of any longer,

I wished I could have stood,
where you would have been proud,

but that won't happen now,
that won't happen now.

There's a whole lot of singing, that's never gonna
be heard,

somehow.

2. I don' t have to answer, any of these
questions,
Am F
don't have no
guide to teach me no lessons.

I come home in the evening,
sit in my chair,

one night they called me for
supper, but I never got up,

I stayed right there in my
chair.

3. I wished I'd known you, wished I'd shown you,
Am F
all of the things, I was on
the inside.
C G
I´d
pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the
morning,
Am F
to whisper goodbye, go to work
in the rain,
C G
I don't know why, don't know
why.
F G
Cause everyone´s singing, we just wanna be heard,
Am F C
disappearing every day, without so much as a word,
somehow.
F G
Gonna grab a hold of that little
songbird,
Am F C
take her for a ride, to the top of the world, right now.
