I [G]wish that I was [C]beautiful for [G]you [D/F#]
I [G]wish that I [C]inspired tiny [G]fireworks [D/F#]inside the way you [Em]do
So delicately [G]made 
A prayer left [C]un-prayed
[C]Before [G]the [Am]mor[G]ning [D]sun [C]fades up to [Am]blue
And I [Cm]wish that I was beautiful for you 

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]

I [G]wish that somehow [C]I could find a [G]pill [D/F#]
For a [G]quick fix modern [C]tonic that would [G]change me with one [D/F#]swallow I would [Em]kill
Watch folks line up to [G]pay
Stare at me all [C]day
But [C]I'd [G]turn [Am]them [G]all [D]a[C]way if that be thy [Am]will
One [Cm]tiny little innocuous pill

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] 

But a [D/F#]wish is just a [Am]pin in a [D]swimming pool of [Am]needles
If [Em]for [A]one [G]night you need the [C]room I [D/F#]wish to be your [G]tomb
You can [D/F#]lie in me

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]

Is it [G]possible I have [C]other things you [G]need [D/F#]
But to be [G]worthy of a [C]single page out [G]of one of those [D/F#]magazines you [Em]read
As glossy as a [G]mirror
But mirrors never [C]lie
They're [C]di[G]ffi[Am]cult [G]on [D]the [C]eye it's [Am]true
And I [Cm]wish that I was beautiful for you

[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]
[G] [C] [G] [D/F#]

I [G]dreamed that we were [C]travelling on a [G]bus [D/F#]
[G]Speeding along an [C]un-named plain [G]towards somewhere and [D/F#]nowhere there was [Em]us
Our hands lay useless in our [G]laps
Like beetles on their [C]backs
We came [G]to a stretch of [C]road where a [G]fire [D/F#]
Had [G]burned the edges [C]all along it [G]looked as though the [D/F#]highway wore [Em]eyeliner
You kissed me by [G]surprise
When I opened my [C]eyes
You'd [C]turned [G]in[Am]to [G]some [D]old [C]guy
I [Am]screamed
But don't [Cm]forget of all these things I've only [G]dreamed

[Am] [D] [Am] [Am]	[Em] [A]

If for one [G]night you need the [C]room
[D/F#]I can be your [G]tomb
You can [D/F#]lie in me
