MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
Wish I was a stone , so I couldn't feel
MI FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
You'd yell in my face , it'd be no big deal
si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
But I'd miss the way we make up and smile
si si si si LA SOL# MI FA# MI
Don't want to be stone , I changed my mind

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
I wish I had eyes in the back of my head
FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
Then I could see the places I've been
si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
But then I would know that you're talkin' s***
si si si si LA , SOL# MI FA# MI
I don't wanna know what my friends think

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI DO#3 SOL#
Wish I were my dog out on the lawn
FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# FA# SI LA SOL# MI
I'd be so glad when I hear you come home
si si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
But if I were my dog , I wouldn't live long
si si si si LA SOL# MI FA# MI
I'm sure gonna miss her when she's gone

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
I wish I could act in a show on TV
FA# FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
'Cause then I could practice not bein' me
si si si SOL# MI , si si si si SOL# MI

But you won't believe me when I cry for real

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
I wish that my brain would triple in size
MI FA# FA# FA# FA# , MI SI LA SOL# MI
I'd nail every joke , I'd win every fight
si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
But I'd get too deep with that kind of mind
si si si si LA SOL# MI FA# SOL#
I don't wanna know the point of life

SOL# SOL# SOL# SOL# SI , SI SI DO#3 SOL#
In some other life I would be rich
MI FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
I'd travel in style , I'd cover the bill
si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
But couldn't complain 'bout anything small
si si si si LA SOL# MI FA# MI
Nobody'd feel bad for me at all

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
If I was cocaine or a bottle of Jack
FA# FA# FA# FA# MI , FA# SI LA SOL# MI

You'll only want me when you're sad

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
Wish I was a song , your favorite one

You'd follow the dance to me at your prom

I would be there when your baby is born
si si si si LA SOL# MI FA# MI
For two or three minutes , then I'm gone

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
I wish I was big , as big as my house
MI FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
I'd sleep on the trees , I'd skip every crowd
si si si SOL# MI , si si si si SOL# MI
But I wouldn't fit on my therapist's couch
si si si LA SOL# MI FA# MI
God , I could really use him now

MI MI MI MI SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
I wish I was God , I'd never trip up
FA# FA# FA# FA# , FA# SI LA SOL# MI
And if I did , well , so fu***** what?

SOL# SOL# SOL# SOL# SI , SI SI SI DO#3 SOL#
But if I was God , it'd get kinda weird
FA# FA# FA# FA# MI , FA# FA# SI LA SOL# MI
'Cause you would only say what I wanna hear
si si si SOL# MI , si si si SOL# MI
And then you would die , you'd love me to death

I never know who the hell I am
