[Intro]
Bm D
[Verse 1]
I wish that BmI smoked cigarettes
Maybe I'd be Dthinner
I wish that BmI still went to church
Maybe I'm a Dsinner
BmI wish I had a lowride car so A#I could drive my lowride heart to Asomewhere where nobody knows your
Gname
[Chorus]
I Bmwish that I could Gcall you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant to
I Bmwish that I could Ghave you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant you
I Bmwish that it got Gbetter Djust like people Asay
I Gwish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you BmawaGyD  
And I'd be Bmoka-Ga-aDy
[Verse 2]
I bet I'll Bmforget my own name
Before I'd forget Dyou
But I'll Bmforgive all my enemies
Before I'll forgive Dyou
BmIf I think about it long enough A#I'll think those memories to dust
And Afinally I could give her what she Gneeds
[Chorus]
I Bmwish that I could Gcall you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant to
I Bmwish that I could Ghave you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant you
I Bmwish that it got Gbetter Djust like people Asay
I Gwish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you BmawaGyD  
And I'd be Bmoka-Ga-aDy
[Bridge]
BmThey'll be better days coming for me
Better days coming for Bmme
But right now I'm slummin, bummin and slummin away and that's okay
They'll be Gbetter days coming for Dme
AThey'll be better days coming for Bmme
But Gright now I'm slummin, Dbummin and slummin away and that's okay
[Chorus]
I Bmwish that I could Gcall you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant to
I Bmwish that I could Ghave you, but I Dwish I didn't Awant you
I Bmwish that it got Gbetter Djust like people Asay
I Gwish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you BmawaGyD  
And IBm'd bGe oDka-a-ay
But Gthat's just wishful thinking
