D Dmaj7
I wish that I could get up in the early morning time,
D7 G
And things would fall out of the sky into my lap,
Gm D
I wish I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
E A
So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap.
D Dmaj7
I wish that I'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown,
D7 G
While at the beach relaxing in the summer time,
Gm D
I wish that I was good at football, baseball and lacrosse,
E A Bbm
Darts and basketball, and poker, golf and chess.
Bm E
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
A D Dmaj7
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
Bm E
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
A D Dmaj7
The man you think I should aspire to.
Small instrumental - Bm D E A
D Dmaj7
I wish I had the genes of Edwardo Verastegui,
D7 G
That I was effortlessly masculine as well,
Gm D
I wish that confidence was all you could see in my eyes,
E A
Like those interviews in locker rooms with talented sports guys.
D Dmaj7
I wish I had no self-awareness like the guys I know,
D7 G
Who float right through their lives without a thought.
Gm D
Or that I didn't give a shit what anybody thought of me,
E A Bbm
That I was so relaxed you'd think that I was bored.
Bm E
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
A D Dmaj7
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
Bm E
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,

The man you think I should aspire to.
