John Grant Silver Platter Club Lyrics

NOTES - Took a while to get this all down. A few odd chords but here we are. It all
sounds very accurate.
- Chord finger positions below. Two slightly different ways to play Dmaj7 and D7.
Take your pick. To keep it simple, play it the first way :)
- Enjoy! Corrections, comments and ratings warmly welcome!

CHORDS
I wish that I could get up in the early morning time,
And things would fall out of the sky into my lap,
I wish I had the brain of a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
So that I wouldn't have to deal with all this crap.
I wish that I'd been born with skin that turned to golden brown,
While at the beach relaxing in the summer time,
I wish that I was good at football, baseball and lacrosse,
Darts and basketball, and poker, golf and chess.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
Small instrumental - Bm D E A
I wish I had the genes of Edwardo Verastegui,
That I was effortlessly masculine as well,
I wish that confidence was all you could see in my eyes,
Like those interviews in locker rooms with talented sports guys.
I wish I had no self-awareness like the guys I know,
Who float right through their lives without a thought.
Or that I didn't give a shit what anybody thought of me,
That I was so relaxed you'd think that I was bored.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
Instrumental - (Repeat chords from chorus)
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to become,
The man you think I should aspire to.
I'm sorry that they didn't hand it to me,
On a silver platter, like they did to you.
Was that my other one?
