I Wish I Had

E
I wish I had
           F#m
Been ready for you
E
We could have done all those things
       F#m
That lovers do


                       A
But I wouldn’t let you in
                       E
You had to wait in the dark
             B
All of those years

Wonderin’ when it would start


E   F#m


E
So new, having something to say
        C#m
But the shade grows large…

        in the face of the way
           F#m
I stick my head in the sand

Hope it all goes away
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
       B
Like I always have


[Verse 2]
        E
I wish I had
           F#m
Been ready for you
E                               
cuz I love your heart, your shakin’ 
F#m
body too

                       A
But I wouldn’t let you in
                       E
You had to wait in the dark
             B
All of those years

Wonderin’ when it would start


   E
So I’m gettin’ used

To droppin’ my pride

         C#m
I lay it all out for you

I put it all on the line
           F#m
I take the right way now

Instead of the wrong way out
          B           B  C
For that first time


[Chorus]

C#m              A      E
Nothin’ was a mistake
                    B            B
You learn to love along the way
  C


C#m                   A
You'll bend or you'll break

E               B              B  C
Either way your life is made
C#m                   A
Cuz you cannot fall through the 
cracks
E                     B          
Cuz we’ll be there to bring you 
      B  C
back
C#m                    A
And hold you til the dark is through
E                     B
In the way old lovers do
