Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Greetings all! This is a very simple song to play.
The tuning is Standard.
No Capo matches the Studio version of this song.
The only note I'd like to make is that the Asus4's are
able to be played as A's and it sounds almost the exact
same. I simply like the sound of the Asus4's better.

Well, I wish I had a short term memory
Wish the only thing my eyes could see
G
Was the future burning bright right in front of me
Em Asus4
But I can't stop looking back

Yeah, I wish I was a perfect picture of
Somebody who's never not good enough
G
I try to measure up but I mess it up
Em Asus4
And I wish I wasn't like that
[Pre-Chorus]
D
I wish I wasn't wishing anymore
Wish I could remember that nobody's keeping score
G
I'm tired of throwing pennies in a well
Em
I gotta do something

Here goes nothin'

It's day one of the rest of my life

My someday soon is here and now

The clock is tickin'

And I'm so sick and tired of missing out
