[INTRO]
[VERSE 1]
I wish I was a willow
And I could sway to the music in the wind
/G
I wish I was a lover
I wouldn t need my costumes and pretend
I wish I was a mountain
I d pass boldly through the clouds and never end
And I wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I d play and be your friend
[BRIDGE - nice to play on 8th fret]
I strut and fret
My hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I m lost again
I think I m really scared
I won t be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared (whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaa...)
I d like to be a willow,
A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
/G
But I d hate to be a grownup
And have to try and bear my life in pain
[SOLO]
/G
I d wish I was a soft refrain
When the lights were out I d play and be your friend
[REPEAT BRIDGE]
I strut and fret
My hour upon the stage
The hour is up
I have to run and hide my rage
I m lost again
I think I m really scared
I won t be back at all this time
And have my deepest secrets shared (whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaa...)
I d like to be a willow,
A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
/G
But I d hate to be a grownup
And have to try and bear my life in pain
I d like to be a willow,
A lover, a mountain, or a soft refrain
/G
But I d hate to be a grownup
And have to try and bear my life in pain
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
And I have to try to bear my life in pain
