Wish I Stayed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Why [F]can't we speak
another language
One we all [Am]agree on
[F]When men look outside,
they see houses
Instead of the fields they [Am]grew from
[F]We are constantly uprooted from them
Making us tire[Am]some [F](and fearful)
Can you get up right now
Endeavor [Am]to free fall?
[F]You can

[Verse 2]
fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've [Am]treasured our hometown
But you've forgotten where you [Em]are
And [F]it will stay with you until
your mind's been found
And [Am]it has been found
wondering around

[Verse 3]
With that skip[C]ping rope, the trampoline
The [Em]crafty smoke that made us choke
But we did[Am]n't give up hope
It's just [C]the simple ways of getting paid
The [Em]carelessness of running away
I [Am]wish [F]I stayed
I wish [Am]I stayed

[Verse 4]
[F]Patterns all arranged in my background
Pillars and posts keeping this
coun[Am]try on form
[F]Letters were all sent
With no addresses so that people
can't dis[Am]cover
That we're [F]always under cover
Why do I always draw triangles?
Instead of words this paper
[Am]deserves
I don't own my clothes but I own my mind

[Verse 5]
And it's not what you've lost
[Am]
but it's what you find
[F]I don't own my clothes
[Am]but I own my m[F]ind
And it's [Am]not what you've
lost but it's what you find
[C]With that skipping rope, the

[Verse 6]
trampoline
The [Em]crafty smoke that made us choke
But [Am]we didn't give up hope
It's just the [C]simple ways of getting paid
The [Em]carelessness of running away
I [Am]wish [F]I stayed
I wish [Am]I stayed

[Verse 7]
[Am]
You [F]can fall if you want to!
It's just a matter of how far
You've [Am]treasured our hometown
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will [F]stay with you until
your mind's been found
And it [Am]has been found
wondering around
With that skip[C]ping rope, the

[Verse 8]
trampoline
The [Em]crafty smoke that made us choke
[Am]But we didn't give up hope
It's just [C]the simple ways of getting paid
The [Em]carelessness of running [Am]away
[F]I wish I[Am] stayed
I wish [F]I s[Am]taye[F]d[Am]
