Verse 1
Em 
 (E minor) 
Esus2 
Em 
 (Esus2) With     a  (E minor) wish tied to each wrist
The grown up child in me exists
When bearded man and boy permit
I wish I was a wish I was
a wish I was away
Atop a hill I climbed to play
I looked around and got afraid
A 
My  (A major) stomach dropped
Em 
 (E minor) yet still I stayed
Am 
Em 
A wish I was a  (A minor) wish I was  (E minor) away
I felt the tracks and from the trees
A magpie had a word with me
C 
Em 
He  (C major) told me that I once was  (E minor) he
A wish I was away
Magpie gestured with a nod
It became clear that it was God
Am 
Had I met God  (A minor) atop a hill
Em 
 (E minor) A wish I was away
God said keep it simple friend
Your limitless there is no end
C 
Am 
I love  (C major) you uncondi (A minor) tionally
Em 
A wish  (E minor) I am a way
So I climbed down with mucky knees
No lightning rod of effigies
C 
Am 
Only a  (C major) magpie on a  (A minor) breeze
Em 
A wish  (E minor) I was away
I kept on walking
Long story short
Intent on mapping my own course
That message came
straight from the source
A wish I am a wish I am a wish I
A 
Em 
am a wish I  (A major) am a way  (E minor)
