Capo on 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Em    C  G
Em    C  G
[Chorus]
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
[Verse 1]
Yeah! EmI could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To Cgo back to a place Gmuch simpler than this
Cause Emafter all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
 CAnd all the glitz Gand the glam and the fashion
   EmAnd all the pandemonium and all the madness
  CThere comes a time whGen you fade to the blackness
  EmAnd when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
And you Chopin' but them people Gnever call you back
  EmBut that’s just how the story unfolds
You Cget another hand Gsoon after you fold
   EmAnd when your plans unravel in the sand
What would Cyou wish for Gif you had one chance?
So Emairplane, airplane, sorry I'm late
I'm Con my way so Gdon't close that gate
If EmI don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight
And I’ll be rCight back at it by the end of the night
[Chorus]
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
[Verse 2]
Somebody Emtake me back to the days
Before this was a Cjob, before I Ggot paid
Before it ever Emmattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was Ctryin’ to get a tip Gat subway
And back when I was Emrappin’ for the hell of it
But now a days we Crappin’ to stay relevGant
I’m guessin that if we can mEmake some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo Cmaybe I’ll go back Gto the days
Before the poEmlitics that we call the rap game
And back when ain’t noCbody listened to my Gmix tape
And back before I Emtried to cover up my slang
But this is for the hCater, what's up GBobby Ray
So can I get a Emwish to end the politics
And get back to the Cmusic that started Gthis shit
So here I sEmtand and then again I say
I’m hopin’ we can Cmake some wishes outta' airplanes
[Chorus]
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
Can we pretend that airEmplanes in the night sky
Are like shooCting starsG  
I could really use a wEmish right now (wish right now, Cwish right now)G  
[Outro]
   EmI could really use a wish right now... (oh)
    C    GI.. I...
   EmI could really use a wish right now (right now)
  C    Glike.. like..
   Emlike shooting stars...  (oh)
    C    GI.. I...
   EmI could really use a wish right now (right now)
    C    GA wish, a wish right now.

[Intro]

Em C G

[Chorus]

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

C G

Are like shooting stars

Em C G

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

C G

Are like shooting stars

Em C G

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

[Verse 1]

Yeah! I could use a dream or a genie or a wish

C G

To go back to a place much simpler than this

Cause after all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’

C G

And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium and all the madness

C G

There comes a time when you fade to the blackness

And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap

C G

And you hopin' but them people never call you back

But that’s just how the story unfolds

C G

You get another hand soon after you fold

And when your plans unravel in the sand

C G

What would you wish for if you had one chance?

So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late

C G

I'm on my way so don't close that gate

If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight

And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus]

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

C G

Are like shooting stars

Em C G

[Verse 2]

Somebody take me back to the days

C G

Before this was a job, before I got paid

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank

C G

Yeah back when I was tryin’ to get a tip at subway

And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it

C G

But now a days we rappin’ to stay relevant

I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes

C G

Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to the days

Before the politics that we call the rap game

C G

And back when ain’t nobody listened to my mix tape

And back before I tried to cover up my slang

C G

But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray

So can I get a wish to end the politics

C G

And get back to the music that started this shit

So here I stand and then again I say

I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes outta' airplanes

[Chorus]

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

C G

Are like shooting stars

Em C G

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

C G

Are like shooting stars

Em C G

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

[Outro]

I could really use a wish right now... (oh)

C G

I.. I...

I could really use a wish right now (right now)

C G
