[Intro] Bm A Em Bm A Em7 [Verse 1]
Bm            A        Em
    I rode my bike to town today

Bm         A        Em
  Wobbling down the path

Bm       A              Em
  I knew the kids would see me

Bm          A      Em
  I love it when they laugh

     Bm       A       Em
And I wish I were a camera

       Bm      A         Em
I could slice time like a knife

      Bm       A        Em
Seeing stories in the faces

    Bm       A     Em
And crystallizing life
[Chorus]
G      F#m      A  F#m
Wish I were a camera

G            F#m     A    Bm
   I wish it all the time

 G            F#m     A     F#m
  It gives my eyes a reason

     G                N.C.     Bm  A  Em   Bm  A  Em7
  It gives my life a rhyme
[Verse 2]
Bm           A         Em
    I'd be a lens that could see souls

Bm            A       Em
A shutter that never shuts

         Bm           A    Em
I'd have film that lasts forever

  Bm         A       Em
And I would live in huts

       Bm           A    Em
In the jungles of South America

        Bm       A       Em
Like my father before the war

Bm          A         Em
I'd find out where we came from

Bm               A       Em
   And what this life is for
[Chorus]
G            F#m         A  F#m
And I wish I were a camera

G            F#m     A    Bm
   I wish it all the time

 G            F#m     A     F#m
  It gives my eyes a reason

     G                N.C.
  It gives my life a rhyme
[Instrumental] Bm Bm A Em Bm A Em7 [Chorus]
G      F#m      A  F#m
Wish I were a camera

G            F#m     A    Bm
   I wish it all the time

 G            F#m     A     F#m
  It gives my eyes a reason

     G                N.C.     Bm  A  Em   Bm  A  Em7
  It gives my life a rhyme
[Verse 3]
            Bm          A         Em
And I would climb right off this planet

       Bm        A       Em
On the clearest night of all

Bm          A          Em
   And photograph the future

        Bm      A        Em
When it finally comes to call

        Bm      A          Em
I would save up all these images

       Bm      A     Em
These instants in a box

         Bm   A       Em
And when I am old and lonely

          Bm      A      Em
They could cover up the clocks
[Chorus]
G            F#m         A  F#m
And I wish I were a camera

G            F#m     A    Bm
   I wish it all the time

 G            F#m     A     F#m
  It gives my eyes a reason

     G                N.C.    Bm  A  Em   Bm  A  Em7
  It gives my life a rhyme
[Verse 4]
Bm        A           Em
   I wish that I could shoot at night

    Bm      A         Em
And leave without a trace

    Bm       A          Em
And catch my lover's sleeping smile

     Bm      A           Em
By the starlight on her face

           Bm      A            Em
But I think mostly that I'd see children

            Bm      A            Em
'Cause they haven't learned to hide

         Bm      A            Em
And they watch me on my bicycle

     Bm      A            Em
And laugh with me as I ride
[Outro]
        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride

        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride

        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride

        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride

        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride

        Bm A   Em         Bm A   Em
While I ride,     while I ride
