[Intro] C D G G/F# Em x2 [Verse 1]
      C                    D
I was ten years old when I realized

G                 Em
Some goodbyes are forever

   C                    D            G                        Em
So what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together
[Pre-Chorus]
C             D                       B
  How can the person who taught me to breathe

                Em     D                 C
Take their last breath right in front of me?

C
I know too much now
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes

C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

        C        N.C.     D           N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay

   C       D      G
So I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
  C                  D
I remember seeing my dad cry

G                           Em
For the first time, we were downstairs

C                     D
Talkin' 'bout how his dad died

    G                         Em
And how he wished he could've been there
[Pre-Chorus]
       C               D                       B
He said "How could the person who taught me to breathe

                Em     D               C
Take their last breath not in front of me?"

C
I know too much now
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes

C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

        C        N.C.     D           N.C.
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue stays the same

   C       D      G
Oh I wish, I wish
[Bridge]
C               D
  Stay a little longer

G         Em        G      C
  I'm not ready for you to go

               D
It hasn't even happened

Em                               D         C
  But I have been mourning since ten years old

              Cm
Stay a little longer
[Chorus]
C      D       G             G/F#                Em
I wish I could still see the world through those eyes

C                     D           G              G/F#        Em
  Could still see the colors, but they're not as clear or as bright

        C                 D
Oh, the older we get, the colors they change

      G             G/F#         Em
Yeah, hair turns to grey but the blue's here to stay

   C       D      G
So I wish, I wish
