Capo 3
CI wish I could play the violin
I'd Amplay till tears rolled down your cheek and chin
And Fif you sang along
GWe could write the saddest Csong
CSometimes I indulge my every whim
And Ampiece by piece i build the cell I'm in
But I Fonly stay here long
GEnough to write the saddest Csong
Chorus:
I dreamt I Amstood on a hill that I Cwished was a mountain
To Amlook back on all my accomplisChments
Well they Ammust have been small
because I Ccouldn't seem to find them
So I Ftook a leap off Gof the preciCpice
CI wish I could play piano well
I'd Amhit the keys to make your spirit swell
And Fif you sang along
GWe could write the saddest Csong
I dreamt I Amstood on a hill that I Cwished was a mountain
To Amlook back on all my accomplisChments
Well they Ammust have been small
because I Ccouldn't seem to find them
So I Ftook a leap off Gof the preciCpice
CWhatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
AmWhatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
FI'll follow you, I'll follow you
I'll follow Gyou with my Cheart
CWhatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
AmWhatever the cost
Whether it works out or not
FI'll follow you, I'll follow you
I'll follow Gyou with my Cheart
*Chorus is repeated acappella here. Strum once per chord if you like.*

Capo 3

I wish I could play the violin

I'd play till tears rolled down your cheek and chin

And if you sang along

G C

We could write the saddest song

Sometimes I indulge my every whim

And piece by piece i build the cell I'm in

But I only stay here long

G C

Enough to write the saddest song

Chorus:

Am C

I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain

Am C

To look back on all my accomplishments

Well they must have been small

because I couldn't seem to find them

F G C

So I took a leap off of the precipice

I wish I could play piano well

I'd hit the keys to make your spirit swell

And if you sang along

G C

We could write the saddest song

Am C

I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain

Am C

To look back on all my accomplishments

Well they must have been small

because I couldn't seem to find them

F G C

So I took a leap off of the precipice

Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not

Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not

I'll follow you, I'll follow you

G C

I'll follow you with my heart

Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not

Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not

I'll follow you, I'll follow you

G C

I'll follow you with my heart

*Chorus is repeated acappella here. Strum once per chord if you like.*
