[Intro]
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em x2
[Verse 1]
C Dadd11
I was ten years old when I realized
G Em
Some goodbyes are forever
C Dadd11 G Em
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together
[Pre-Chorus]
C Dadd11 B
How can the person who taught me to breathe
Em Dadd11 C
Take their last breath right in front of me?
C
I know too much now
[Chorus]
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
C N.C. Dadd11 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 Dadd11 G
So I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
C Dadd11
I remember seeing my dad cry
G Em
For the first time, we were downstairs
C Dadd11
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
G Em
And how he wished he could've been there
[Pre-Chorus]
C Dadd11 B
He said "How could the person who taught me to breathe
Em Dadd11 C
Take their last breath not in front of me?"
C
I know too much now
[Chorus]
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
C N.C. Dadd11 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 Dadd11 G
Oh I wish, I wish
[Bridge]
C Dadd11
Stay a little longer
G Em G C
I'm not ready for you to go
Dadd11
It hasn't even happened
Em Dadd11 C
But I have been mourning since ten years old
Cm
Stay a little longer
[Chorus]
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
C Dadd11 G G/F# Em
Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
C Dadd11
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 Dadd11 G
So I wish, I wish
