Capo 6th fret

[Verse 1]

A Asus2 D6 D

Got this feeling that today doesn't like me

A Asus2 D6 D

Or the air tastes like flowers and paint

A Asus2 D6 D

There's a sink full of bottles and cutlery

A Asus2 D6 D

And the car has got a list of complaints

[Chorus 1]

F#m E Dmaj7

I just wish I were a toothbrush or a solder gun

D/F# E/G# A

Make me something somebody can use

[Verse 2]

A Asus2 D6 D

We can wish on the pop of a light bulb

A Asus2 D6 D

Or those photos lying yellow and curled

A Asus2 D6 D

Loose in boxes near abandoned electronics

A Asus2 D6 D

In the corners of the basements of the world

[Chorus 2]

F#m E Dmaj7

Guess our wishes don't do dishes or brake repairs

D/F# E/G# A

Make them something somebody can use

A Asus2 D6 D

F#m E Dmaj7

D/F# E/G# A

[Verse 3]

A Asus2 D6 D

Got a face full of ominous weather

A Asus2 D6 D

Smirking smile of a high pressure ridge

A Asus2 D6 D

Got more faults than the state of California

A Asus2 D6 D

And the heart is a badly built bridge

[Chorus 3]

F#m E Dmaj7

Seems the most I have to offer doesn't offer much

D/F# E/G# A

Make it something somebody can use

D/F# E/G# A

Make this something somebody can use
