Little girl
            F#m       Eb
Living in a war torn world
           Gm              F#m
She keeps tearing out her eyelashes
           Gm              F#m
She keeps tearing out her eyelashes
    Gm                   Cm
And blowing them in the wind
                       Fm      Eb
She can't wait for the wish to come

She can’t wait for the wish to come

Little boy
              F#m        Eb
Saving up his hard earned pay
   Gm             F#m
He throws it in a well one day
   Gm             F#m
He throws it in a well one day
       Gm           Cm
Like a river on the run

He can't wait for the wish to come

With eyes that know

We can try
       Cm
We can try
                Eb                         Fm
But we be can’t control (We can't control, we can't control)
N.C.
Where the wind blows

Mean old man
              F#m      Eb
Living in the promised land

He's telling her to feel alone
     Gm                   F#m
He's telling her to feel alone
     Gm             Cm
Like she's the only one
                      Fm     Eb
He can't wait for the war to come

He can't wait for the war to come

But we can’t control (We can’t control, we can't control)
N.C.                 Eb
Where the wind blows

Growing up day by day
