{c: }
I [D] wish I was home again, [G] home in my heart again,
It's [D] been a long time since my heart talked to [A] me.
[D] Wastin' my precious days, [G] wishin' my life away,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets in the [D] sea.
{c: }
I [D] wish I was young again, my [G] song still be sung again,
The [D] sweet tunes of my life have gone sour and off [A] key;
[D] Writin' my tired old rhymes, [G] tryin' to turn back time,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets in the [D] sea.
{c: }
If [G] wishes were [A] fishes, I [D] know where I'd [G] be,
[D] Casting my net in the dark rolling [A] sea;
And [G] if my net's [A] empty when it [D] comes back to [G] shore,
I'll [D] throw it away and go fishing [D] no [A] more.
{c: }
I [D] wish I could care again, [G] reach out and share again,
[D] Mend what's been broken and let it run [A] free;
The [D] older I get it seems, more [G] wishin' takes the place of dreams,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets in the [D] sea
{c: }
{sos}
I [D] wish I was home again, [G] home in my heart again,
It's [D] been a long time since my heart talked to [A] me.
[D] Wastin' my precious days, [G] wishin' my life away,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets in the [D] sea.
{eos}
If [G] wishes were [A] fishes, I [D] know where I'd [G] be,
[D] Casting my net in the dark rolling [A] sea;
And [G] if my net's [A] empty when it [D] comes back to [G] shore,
I'll [D] throw it away and go fishing [D] no [A] more.
{c: }
I [D] wish I was home again, [G] home in my heart again,
It's [D] been a long time since my heart talked to [A] me.
[D] Wastin' my precious days, [G] wishin' my life away,
If [D] wishes were fishes, we'd all cast [A] nets in the [D] sea.
