[Verse 1]
G
If children were wishes
Em7 D D6
My mother spent hers on impossible things
C*
My brother was money
D*
My sister was love
G
And I was world peace
[Verse 2]
G
My brother, he spent it
Em7 D
My sister got pregnant
D6
And all that I'm worth
C*
Will only come true
D* G
When there are no more of us left on this earth
[Hook]
G
Ooh
Em7 D D6
Ooh, ooh, ooh
C* D* G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
G
If hearts were machines that kept
Em7 D D6
Running forever automatically
C*
Then you wouldn't be in that
D* G
Hospital bed, on that saline I-V
[Verse 4]
G
And if it's your diet
Em7 D D6
You stubbornly swear that it wasn't your fault
C*
You rather be dead in that hospital bed
D* G
Than cut back on sugar and salt
[Hook]
G
Ooh
Em7 D D6
Ooh, ooh, ooh
C* D* G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]

Oh, weren't you afraid of
Em7 D D6
Living in a major American city
C*
So you marry a stupid
D* G
Unreachable girl who's impossibly pretty
[Verse 6]
G Em7 D
And I've seen you drive everyday of your life
D6
And it's always a rush
C*
And I have to wonder
G
How I ever let you do something so dangerous
[Verse 7]
G
And so I suppose
Em7
This is just how it goes no matter how I try
D
I just have to watch you
D* G
Get weaker and weaker 'till you finally die
[Verse 8]
G
But I have to remember
Em7 D D6
The wish of my mother and all that I'm worth
C*
Which will only come true
D* G
When there are no more of us left on this earth
[Hook]
G
Ooh
Em7 D D6
Ooh, ooh, ooh
C* D* G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
