Ani DiFranco – Wish I May (Guitar)

F#m                              D
I am losing my love for adventure

Em
I'm losing all respect

Bm
For me and myself tonight

F#m                              D
I wonder what happens if i get to

Em
The end of this tunnel

Bm
And there isn't a light

F#m
I've worn down the treads

D
On all of my tires

Em
I've worn through the elbows

Bm
And the knees of my clothing

F#m
I am stumbling down

D
The gravel driveway of desire

Em
Trying not to wake up

Bm
My sleeping self-loathing

F#m                         D
Do you ever have that dream

Em
Where you open your mouth

Bm
And you try to scream

F#m                       D
But you can't make a sound

Em
That's every day starting now

Bm
That's every day starting now

F#m            D
Don't tell me it's gonna be alright

         Em               Bm
You can't sell me on your optimism tonight

F#m
It's stiff competition

      D                      Em
To see who can stay up later

                              Bm  F#m
The stars or the street lights

        D
Is to be alone with the darkness

       Em
No more wish i may

       Bm
No more wish i might

          F#m
It takes a stiff upper lip

            D
Just to hold up my face

            Em
I got to suck it up and savor

       Bm
The taste of my own behavior

      F#m                  D
I am spinning with longing

D
Faster than a roulette wheel

Em
This is not who i meant to be

     Bm
This is not how i meant to feel

F#m
I don't think i am strong enough

   D                    Em
To do this much longer

                    Bm
God i wish i was stronger

F#m
This song could never be long enough

    D                    Em
To express every longing

F#m
God i wish it was longer
