[Intro]
B Bmaj7             B7
  Come on, Charlie!

                             G#dim
Don't you wanna make a wish?

               Em
I only had one wish.

Em          D#m F#7
Oh, Charlie.
[Verse]
        B           Bmaj7
If your father were here

         B7               C#m
He would say, "That one's Mars."

         Em           B                  G#m        A7
He would hang you the moon and then he'd bottle the stars

        B                D#             G#m              Bm
I would say, "Brush your teeth, is that dirt behind your ear?"

             Em               F#7         B    Bmaj7 Gm Em F# Em B
But you'd be dreaming if your father were here
[Verse]
        B           Bmaj7
If your father were here

          B7        C#7 
You would not be in bed

         Em             B                G#m               Em
You'd be acting out the stories from the books that you've read

        B           D#               G#m          G#m/B
He'd be walking the plank of Charlie Bucket, Buccaneer

         Em              F#7         B
You'd be sailing if your father were here
[Chorus]
       A7          B                A7      B
And if wishes were horses, we could gallop away

       Em            B
And if cabbages were watches,

        C#m      F#
I would know the time all day
[Bridge]
        G#m               D#m           C#m             A7
Ah, but all we can we can offer you are dreams in every size

              Bm            C#7                F#   F#/A#
So close your eyes, Charlie Bucket, close your eyes
[Verse]
        B           Bmaj7
If your father were here

         B7         G#dim
He would banish the cold

      Em             B                G#m          A
I can still feel his laughter and the hand I would hold

       B            D#
As I'm watching you grow

        G#m     A#m      Bm
Inch by inch by inch by year

        Em                F#7         B    Bmaj7 B7
I would thank him if your father were here
[Outro]
                         G#m
Well if you won't make a wish, Charlie,

Gm                            F# Em B
  Then I'll make one for you.
