If Wishes Were Fishes

I (E)wish I was home again at (A)home in my heart again

It's (E)been a long time since my heart talked to (B)me(E)

Wastin' my precious days (A)wishin' my life away

If (E)wishes were fishes we'd all cast (B)nets in the (E)sea

Cho: And if (A)wishes were (B)fishes I (E)know where I'd (A)be(D)

Casting my net in the dark rolling (B)sea

And (A)if my net's (B)empty when it (E)comes back to (A)shore

I'll (E)throw it away and go fishing no (B)more

And I wish I was young again my song still to be sung again

The sweet tunes of my life have gone sour and off key

Writin' my tired old rhymes tryin to turn back time

If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets in the sea

I wish I could care again reach out and share again

Mend whats been broken and let it run free

The older I get it seems the more wishin' takes the place of dreams

If wishes were fishes we'd all cast nets in the sea
