Intro (x2): E Gb B B Abm

Verse 1:
      E                    Gb
I was ten years old when I realized
B                 Abm
Some goodbyes are forever
E                       Gb         B                        Abm
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together

Pre-chorus:
E             Gb                      Eb
  How can the person who taught me to breathe
                Abm    Gb                E
Take their last breath right in front of me?
E
I know too much now

Chorus:
E      Gb      B             B                   Abm
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
E                     Gb          B                    B     Abm
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        E        (nc)     Gb          (nc)
Oh, the older we get, the colors they faint
      B             B            Abm
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   E       Gb     B
So I wish, I wish

Verse 2:
  E                  Gb
I remember seeing my dad cry
B                           Abm
For the first time, we were downstairs
E                     Gb
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died
    B                         Abm
And how he wished he could've been there

Pre-chorus:
        E              Gb                      Eb
He said "How could the person who taught me to breathe
                Abm    Gb              E
Take their last breath not in front of me?"
E
I know too much now

Chorus:
E      Gb      B             B                   Abm
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
E                     Gb          B                    B     Abm
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        E        (nc)     Gb          (nc)
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
      B             B            Abm
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
   E       Gb     B
Oh I wish, I wish

Bridge:
E               Gb
  Stay a little longer
B         Abm       B        E
  I'm not ready for you to go
E         Gb
It hasn't even happened
Abm                              Gb            E
  But I have been mourning since ten years old
E             Em
Stay a little longer

Chorus:
E      Gb      B             B                   Abm
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
E                     Gb          B              B           Abm
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        E                 Gb
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
      B             B            Abm
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   E       Gb     B
So I wish, I wish
