Emaj7 F#add6 B G#m7

Verse 1
      Emaj7                F#add6    B                  G#m7
I was ten years old when I realized some goodbyes are forever
   Emaj7                F#add6        B                       G#m7
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together

Pre-Chorus
Emaj7           F#add6                   D#m
    How can the person who taught me to breathe
                 G#m7        F#add6     Emaj7
Take their last breath right in front of me? I know too much now

Chorus
Emaj7  F#add6    B           B/A#                G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7                 F#add6       B             B/A#         G#m7
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        Emaj7    N.C.     F#add6      N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
       B            B/A#         G#m7           B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   Emaj7   F#add6  B
So I wish, I wish

Verse 2
    Emaj7            F#add6    B                          G#m7
I remember seeing my dad cry, for the first time, we were downstairs
Emaj7                 F#add6       B                         G#m7
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died and how he wished he could've been there

Pre-Chorus
        Emaj7              F#add6                   D#m
He said     "How could the person who taught me to breathe
                 G#m7        F#add6     Emaj7
Take their last breath not in front of me?"   I know too much now

Chorus
Emaj7  F#add6    B           B/A#                G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7                 F#add6       B             B/A#         G#m7
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        Emaj7    N.C.     F#add6      N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
       B            B/A#         G#m7           B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same
   Emaj7   F#add6  B
Oh I wish, I       wish

Bridge
Emaj7              F#add6  G#m7              F#add6 Emaj7
     Stay a little longer, I'm not ready for you to go
Emaj7          F#add6   G#m7                              F#add6    Emaj7
It hasn't even happened,   but I have been mourning since ten years old
Emaj7         Em
Stay a little longer

Chorus
Emaj7  F#add6    B           B/A#                G#m7
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes
Emaj7                 F#add6       B             B/A#         G#m7
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright
        Emaj7    N.C.     F#add6      N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change
       B            B/A#         G#m7           B7
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay
   Emaj7   F#add6  B    Emaj7 B
So I wish, I       wish
