Start Jamming...
I'd wish for no more wars, [B] to silencer guns, [Gb] all your troubles to be [Db] little ones.
[Bbm] For every child in the world [Fm] to eat their fill, [Gb] with a guardian angel on [Fm] each windowsill.
[Bbm] I'd wish for the wealth to be [Db] spread around, every soul when they pass to be [F] heaven bound.
[Ebm] After I'd wish for all [Db] that crap I'd see, [Gb] if maybe I could wish a thing [Ab] or two [E] for me.
I [Db] wish my neighbor would choke on his yappy dog, wish [Gb] I could pick my relatives from a catalog.
The [Ebm] hot girl next door [Gb] would tan wearing nothing but a smile.
[Ab] Wish [Db] I could get that knighthood from the queen, I [Gb] wish folks would quit calling me Rick Springsteen.
I [Ebm] wish the IRS would permanently [Ab] misplace my file.
I [Gb] wish the starter [Ab] in my damn [Bbm] Corvette would work, I [Gb] wish I'd never [Ab] seen Miley [Db] Cyrus [Bbm] twerk.
[Eb] Why does everybody seem so real, and I feel like [Eb] a fraud.
[Ab] I [Gb] wish that we were [Eb] all equal in the eyes of God.
[Gb] If wishes [Ab] were fishes I wouldn't smell so [Bbm] sweet, there'd [Ebm] be a million [Ab] dead fish lying [Bbm] at my feet.
[Gb] I wish and [Ab] I wish to make my [Bbm] life complete, I [Ebm] want a drink from that wishing [Gb] cup.
The [Eb] real life's [Gb] stepping to screw [Ab] it up.
[Gb]
[Db] [Ab] [B]
[Db]
Wish every goddamn body would learn to drive, and [Gb] stop cutting me off on interstate 5.
[Ebm] And I wish Scarlett Johansson would give me a [Gb] call.
865 [Ab]-309, [Db] wish money flowed like the falls of Niagara.
I [Gb] wish I'd quit getting emails for cheap Viagra.
[Ebm] I wish there was some way [Eb] somehow [Gb] I could have [Ab] it all.
Wish [Gb] I was 21 [Ab] again, let the good times [Bbm] roll.
My [Gb] only worry [Ab] back then was does [Db] she have birth control?
I'm [Eb] not a doctor, but I played [Gb] one on [Ab] TV.
And [Db] I'd be happy [Ab] to take a look for free.
If wishes were fishes we [Eb] wouldn't smell [Bbm] too good, [Ab] with a bunch of dead fish around [Db] the neighborhood.
[Bbm]
I'm [Gb] not the only [Ab] one who wishes, cause [Db] this is [F] Hollywood, where [Ebm] all your freaky shit [Gb] comes through.
[Eb] Maybe a [Ab] wish or two.
Wish [Gb] every [Ab] politician wasn't [F] a self [Bbm]-serving dick.
Wish [Gb] I had [Ab] Gould, Anthony, [F] Wieners, [Bbm] Wiener.
Wish [Gb] our government [Ab] hit with [F] a stupid [Bbm] stick.
I [Eb] wish John S.
Lincoln was still our president.
But I'd [Gb] settle for Jesus or [Ab] Clark Kent.
If wishes were fishes the [Db] whole world [Fm] would eat.
Though [Ebm] we'd all be [Ab] sick of fish by the end of the week.
I [Gb] got a sneaking [Ab]
suspicion I'm [Dbm] not the only freak.
[Ebm] Who's wishing [Eb] for blind [Gb] Donald luck.
I [Eb] get nothing [Ebm] here.
