Capo on 2nd Fret

[Intro]
Em    C  G
Em    C  G

[Chorus]
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

[Verse 1]
      Em                                      
Yeah! I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
   C                  G                     
To go back to a place much simpler than this
      Em                                              
Cause after all the partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
C                 G                           
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
Em                                         
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
C                    G                           
There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
Em                                               
And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
        C                      G                  
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
Em                                   
But that’s just how the story unfolds
    C                G                  
You get another hand soon after you fold
Em                                     
And when your plans unravel in the sand
           C            G                     
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
   Em                                
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late
    C            G                    
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
   Em                                          
If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight
             C                                      
And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus]
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

[Verse 2]
         Em                      
Somebody take me back to the days
                  C             G       
Before this was a job, before I got paid
               Em                            
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
                     C                   G        
Yeah back when I was tryin’ to get a tip at subway
                    Em                        
And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it
                  C                    G  
But now a days we rappin’ to stay relevant
                            Em                             
I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
              C                  G          
Then maybe yo maybe I’ll go back to the days
             Em                              
Before the politics that we call the rap game
                      C                   G       
And back when ain’t nobody listened to my mix tape
                  Em                        
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
                     C               G        
But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray
               Em                      
So can I get a wish to end the politics
                    C                  G        
And get back to the music that started this shit
           Em                       
So here I stand and then again I say
                  C                                
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes outta' airplanes

[Chorus]
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
                       Em                     
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
             C         G
Are like shooting stars
                      Em                             C              G
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

[Outro]

CG                       
A wish, a wish right now.
