NOTES - Took a while to get this all down. A few odd chords but here we are. It all
sounds very accurate.
- Chord finger positions below. Two slightly different ways to play Dmaj7 and D7.
Take your pick. To keep it simple, play it the first way :)
- Enjoy! Corrections, comments and ratings warmly welcome!

I [D]wish that I could get up in the [Dmaj7]early morning time,
And things would [D7]fall out of the sky into my [G]lap,
I [Gm]wish I had the brain of a T[D]yrannosaurus Rex,
So that I [E]wouldn't have to deal with all this [A]crap.
I [D]wish that I'd been born with skin that [Dmaj7]turned to golden brown,
While [D7]at the beach relaxing in the summer [G]time,
I [Gm]wish that I was good at football, [D]baseball and lacrosse,
Darts and [E]basketball, and poker, golf and [A]chess.[Bbm]
[Bm] I'm sorry that they didn't [E]hand it to me,
On a [A]silver platter, like they did to [D]you.[Dmaj7]
[Bm] I'm sorry that I wasn't [E]able to become,
The [A]man you think I should aspire [D]to.[Dmaj7]
Small instrumental - Bm D E A
I [D]wish I had the genes of Ed[Dmaj7]wardo Verastegui,
That I was [D7]effortlessly masculine as [G]well,
I [Gm]wish that confidence was all you [D]could see in my eyes,
Like those [E]interviews in locker rooms with [A]talented sports guys.
I [D]wish I had no self-awareness [Dmaj7]like the guys I know,
Who [D7]float right through their lives without a [G]thought.
Or [Gm]that I didn't give a shit what any[D]body thought of me,
That I was [E]so relaxed you'd think that I was [A]bored.[Bbm]
[Bm] I'm sorry that they didn't [E]hand it to me,
On a [A]silver platter, like they did to [D]you.[Dmaj7]
