Everything I Wish to Be

EVERYTHING I WISH TO BE

(E)(A)(E)(B)
These mismatched tiles read me in your files;
(C#m)(A)
Some things were never written down,
(E)(B)
But the reassurance is somewhat sound,
(E)(A)
That someone will remember me,
(E)(B)
For everything I wish to be.

The fading red paint is the memory faint,
That could never have worked out.
Searching to find what it's about,
I have to set you free,
For everything I wish to be.

I see the noble men and I think of you again.
I see inside their lives,
Their children and their wives,
And they shall always see me,
for everything I wish to be.

{chorus}
(E)
And, now that I'm,
(B)
Gone,
(C#m)
Do I look like,
(A)
Photographs?
(E)
When you think,
(B)
Real hard,
(C#m)
Can I still,
(A)
Make you laugh?

I will recall them again when I see them,
Everyone I see around,
Next time I'm in this town.
How changed I shall be,
To everything I wish to be.

I want to go out knowin' what it's about,
And known for a bigger heart,
Known for playing my part.
Contented and happy,
Everything I wish to be.

{repeat chorus}

Note: I play it with the Capo on the Second Fret.
