Chords for Joshua Hyslop - I Wish I Was [Acoustic Video]

I don't really think that most people want to be vulnerable, [F] especially in front of a room full of [D] strangers.
But it is [F#] valuable if it helps other people kind of get through things that they've gone through, [G#] or are going through.
And so, [A] you know, I get sick before most shows, I throw up [D#m] before most shows,
[Gm] because I'm [F#] going up there and I'm singing about things that I've gone through,
or things [N] that I'm going through, and it's never [F#] really easy for me to do.
I don't like [G#] being in front of [G] people, usually.
I'm very shy, I'm very introverted.
So to [F#] do that is [G] really, really hard for me to do.
But I think it's really worthwhile if it kind of helps people get through things that they're going through,
they can connect to the songs.
And like a song like I Wish I Was, [F#] that's specifically about _ [G#] feeling something that you'd probably rather not feel.
Like, if something bad has happened, and you know, you don't have to go through the pain of it,
but being willing to go through that pain, I mean, it's [F] a pretty universally felt emotion.
So I think it's really worthwhile [F#] to kind of put yourself [Bm] out there and help the people kind of [F#m] relate,
help them get through stuff as well.
[D] _ _ [A] _
_ Oh, darling, [D] _ _ [A] _
it's been so long, _ [D] _ _ [A]
I'll throw on [D] your old cell,
_ [E] because I've seen what's [A] going on.
_ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
_ Oh, darling, [D] _ _ [A]
what are you dreaming of?
[D] _ _ [A]
I was [D] much younger _ [E] then, and you [A] were in love.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _
And I [Bm] said, oh, [B] _ [D] oh, oh, [E] I wish [A] I was.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _
I [Bm] cried, oh, _ [D] oh, [E] I wish [A] I was.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _
Time keeps on changing, [D] _ _ [A]
you lose those you love.
[D] _ _ [A] _
Hearts [D] keep on breaking.
_ [E] Oh, _ the [A] memories of [D] _ _ [A]
what's paid off tomorrow, _ [D] _ _ [A]
that you don't know yet.
[D] _ _ [A]
The lonesome [D] _ forgotten.
[E] Oh, the people [A] you met, [D] _ _ [A] _
they [Bm] say, oh, [D] oh, oh, _
[E] I wish [A] I was.
_ [D] _ _ [A] _
They [Bm] cry, _ [B] oh, [D] oh, [E] yeah, I wish [A] I was.
[D] _ _ [A] _
You [Bm] said, oh, [D] oh, _
[E] I [A] wish I was.
[D] _ _ [A] _
_ They [Bm] cry, oh, [A] oh, _
[E] yeah, I wish [A] I was.
