Capo 6th fret
[Verse 1]
A Asus2 D6 D
Got this feeling that today doesn't like me
A Asus2 D6 D
Or the air tastes like flowers and paint
A Asus2 D6 D
There's a sink full of bottles and cutlery
A Asus2 D6 D
And the car has got a list of complaints
[Chorus 1]
F#m E Dmaj7
I just wish I were a toothbrush or a solder gun
D/F# E/G# A
Make me something somebody can use
[Verse 2]
A Asus2 D6 D
We can wish on the pop of a light bulb
A Asus2 D6 D
Or those photos lying yellow and curled
A Asus2 D6 D
Loose in boxes near abandoned electronics
A Asus2 D6 D
In the corners of the basements of the world
[Chorus 2]
F#m E Dmaj7
Guess our wishes don't do dishes or brake repairs
D/F# E/G# A
Make them something somebody can use

[Verse 3]
A Asus2 D6 D
Got a face full of ominous weather
A Asus2 D6 D
Smirking smile of a high pressure ridge
A Asus2 D6 D
Got more faults than the state of California
A Asus2 D6 D
And the heart is a badly built bridge
[Chorus 3]
F#m E Dmaj7
Seems the most I have to offer doesn't offer much
D/F# E/G# A
Make it something somebody can use
D/F# E/G# A
Make this something somebody can use
