C
When I was granted three wishes
G C
I thought about what I could wish
C
Perhaps I should fly like an eagle
G C
Maybe swim like a fish
F
If I could have superpowers
C F
I thought about what they might be
C F
Best think it through and carefully choose
G C
Knowing that I only get three
C
The first one came to me easy
G C
I decided I wanted to fly
C
See the world from a different perspective
G C
Looking down from the sky
F
I jumped up and started to swim in the air
C F
Closed my eyes so I wouldn’t look down
C F
I kicked my legs, moved my arms all around
G C
But I couldn’t get more than five feet off the ground
Em
The neighborhood dogs stood below in a row
C
Looking up and barking at me
Em
Try as I might I couldn’t gain any height
F
Flapping my arms frantically
G
To all it was quite plain to see
G7 C
That flying just wasn’t for me
C
The flying was such a disaster
G C
I wanted to just disappear
C
If I could become invisible
G C
I’d hide in plain sight for a year
F
But sneaking around without being seen
C F
Seemed to me a little bit creepy and mean
C F
My heart wasn’t in it, it felt a bit weird
G C
At embarrassing moments I just reappeared.
C
So then I thought X-Ray vision
G C
Might be the best way to go
C
I could see everything hidden from sight
G C
And nobody could possibly know
F
I could see through the ceiling, the sky and the clouds
C F
The door, the floor and the walls
C F
Trouble is when you see through everything
G C
You can’t see nothing at all
C
Now for the time being
G C
I’ll just stay the way that I am
C
I tried my three superpowers
G C
I may never use them again
