G
I wish I were a little girl in this life
Cadd9                    D          G
No one could resist my little girl smile
G
I wish I were a baby in this love
Cadd9                    D          G
I'd be cradled in your arms day and night


G                           
I wish I were an old man, a scholar
Cadd9                       D          G
With the wisdom of a 1,000 men before me
G   
I wish I were a funny dream that haunted
Cadd9                    D               G
The people I love every time they were down


                D 
I wish I was a fine wine
                Cadd9
I wish I were a good drug
                     G                              D
Hey, and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
              D                      Cadd9   
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
                      G                           D
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
(intro x2)
Sometimes  


G
I wish I were the sunset in Verona
Cadd9                               D              G
I'd make a beautiful picture every time I went to bed
G
Or maybe more the sunrise waking up to a sad man
Cadd9                         D                        G
And hey, if I were the blue skies, I'd never rain on him


                 D
I wish I was a fine wine
                  Cadd9
I wish I were a good drug
                      G                              D
Yeah, and if I were Jesus, maybe I could heal all of us
             D                        Cadd9
Just like a good lover, which one do you prefer?
                      G                           D
In a world full of vices, I wish I were a little bird
(intro x2)
Sometimes


G
I wish I were an angel in '52
Cadd9                       D              G
In a blue Cadillac on the eve of the New Year
G 
And there I would have saved him, the man who sang the blues
Cadd9           D                G
But maybe he is listening right now
Cadd9            D              G*
Hopefully he's listening right now
