Wish me well            (Brooker / Reid)
Intro      Gm        D7     Gm  D7  
Our lEmocal picture houB7se 
was sD7howing a Batman mGovie 
You sGee this guy fly Amup in the sky, 
I thD7ought to myself, 'GWhy shouldn't I?' 
So I bEmought a pair of B7wings, 
D7went up upon a waGll 
I Gwas about to jump inAmto the air 
when a D7guy from the street cGalled 
He said, 'HGey wait a minute! 
CDon't you realize the dDanger? 
GWhat do you think you aCre, some kind of aDngel?' 
I considered for a minute, 
realized he spoke the truth. 
For the barbells on my eyelids 
only emphasised my youth 
and the sawdust in my plimsolls 
means the same to him as me 
But that's neither here nor further, 
so I spoke considerately 
'Now if you understand 
just what I'm trying to say, 
whatever you do, don't grin, 
you'll give the game away!' 
By now a crowd had gathered 
and it seemed that all was lost 
In the anger of the moment 
I had diced with death and lost 
It seemed to me the time was right 
so I burst into song 
In the anger of the moment 
the crowd began to sing along 
I could not see a way out 
of this predicament 
Just then a breeze came through the trees 
and up in the air I went 
D   Dadd9 Dm  D
C#  F#   F#m  B
I must have flown a mile, 
or maybe it was eight 
Thought to myself pretty soon 
I'd hit the Golden Gates 
Just then a passing bird 
for no reason I could see 
took a peck at my wings and 
that was the end of me 
I went down, hit the ground 
faster than the speed of sound 
Luckily I broke no bones only 
tore my underclothes 
outro     G       C     D  D

Intro

Em B7

Our local picture house

D7 G

was showing a Batman movie

G Am

You see this guy fly up in the sky,

D7 G

I thought to myself, 'Why shouldn't I?'

Em B7

So I bought a pair of wings,

D7 G

went up upon a wall

G Am

I was about to jump into the air

D7 G

when a guy from the street called

He said, 'Hey wait a minute!

C D

Don't you realize the danger?

G C D

What do you think you are, some kind of angel?'

I considered for a minute,

realized he spoke the truth.

For the barbells on my eyelids

only emphasised my youth

and the sawdust in my plimsolls

means the same to him as me

But that's neither here nor further,

so I spoke considerately

'Now if you understand

just what I'm trying to say,

whatever you do, don't grin,

you'll give the game away!'

By now a crowd had gathered

and it seemed that all was lost

In the anger of the moment

I had diced with death and lost

It seemed to me the time was right

so I burst into song

In the anger of the moment

the crowd began to sing along

I could not see a way out

of this predicament

Just then a breeze came through the trees

and up in the air I went

D Dadd9 Dm D

C# F# F#m B

I must have flown a mile,

or maybe it was eight

Thought to myself pretty soon

I'd hit the Golden Gates

Just then a passing bird

for no reason I could see

took a peck at my wings and

that was the end of me

I went down, hit the ground

faster than the speed of sound

Luckily I broke no bones only

tore my underclothes
