Lyrics

I wish I were pret ty.

I wish I were brave.

If I owned this cit y,

then I’d make it be have.

And if I were fear less,

then I’d speak my truth,

and the world would hear this.

That’s what I it be have.

And if I wish

I’d do, yeah,

yeah,

yeah,

yeah.

If my hands could hold them, you’d see.

I’d take all these se crets in me and I’d move and mold them to be some thing (Bb)I’d set free.

I want to (Dm)dark en in the skies,

o pen the (Bb)flood gates up.

I wan na (F)change my mind.

I want to (C)be e nough.

I want the (Dm)wa ter in my eyes.

I want to (Bb)cry un til the end of time.

I want to (F)let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (C)down

to night.

I hold on to ry.

(So tight.) It’s (C)safe in here right next to my heart.

Now who shouts at the top of her voice?

Let me go.

Let me out.

This is not my choice.

And I (F)al ways felt it be fore that the world was filled with much more than the drown ing soul I’ve learned to be.

I just need the rain to re mind me.

I want to (C)down.

I want to (F)let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down, make a (C)brand new ground.

(F)Let the rain come (F)down.

(C)down

to night.
