Verse 1:

I wish I was a neutron bomb...for once, I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree...I wish I was the star that went on top

Chorus:
F                C           F              C
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
          F           C                   G                  F F/E F 
For fifty million hands up raised and opened towards the sky

Chorus:
F              C             F                C
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good              
F              C                G                 F F/E F
I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood

Verse 2:

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me

Verse 3:

I wish I was an alien, at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on

Chorus:
F                C                F            C        
I wish I was the pedal break that you depended on
  F              C                 G            F F/E F
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down
