[E] If wishes were fishes, we'd all [B] cast [C#m] nets in [D#m] [E] the sea.
_ And I wish I was young again, [A] my song still to be sung again.
[E] The sweet tunes of my life have gone sore and off [B] key.
_ _ [E] _
Writing my tidal rhymes, [A] trying to turn back [F#m] time.
[E] If wishes were fishes, we'd all [B] cast nets in [E] the sea. _ _
_ [A] If wishes were [B] fishes, _ [E] I know where [A] I'd be.
_ [E] Casting my nets in the dark [B] rolling sea.
_ [A] And if my [B] net's empty, [E] when it comes back [A] to shore,
[E] I'll throw it away and go fishing [B] no more.
I _ _ _ [E] wish I could care again, [A] reach out and share again.
