   C           Em          Fmaj7
     Wishing I was skinny
                                          C
     Wishing that the whole world knew my name
               Em             Fmaj7
     Wishing I was thrilling
                                C
     That I would never be the blame
               Em           Fmaj7
     Wishing I was kissing
                                    C
     A girl with lips as smooth as pearl
               Em           Fmaj7
     Wishing I was pretty

     Wish that I could round
         C     E        Fmaj7  E  E7
     The world round my finger


   C           Em          Fmaj7
     Wishing I had money
                                      C
     Wishing for the time to spend it all
                Em         Fmaj7
     Wishing I was pretty

     Wish that I could twist
         C     E        Fmaj7  E  E7
     The world round my finger


  Am      Em            Fmaj7     Fmaj7  Csus
     But I would always love you
  Am         Em               Fmaj7      Csus
     I guess that would never change...
