I wish I was a girl" Counting Crows Intro/verse (the E-riff) E Esus4 E Esus4 E this riff until... "You're surprised, and then you wake." Prechorus G#m A For all the things you're losing. E Esus4 E You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change. G#m A And I'm going down to Hollywood. B They're gonna make a movie from the things That they find crawling round my brain. Chorus A B C#m I wish I was a girl B A So that you could believe me B C#m B And I could shake this static every time A I try to sleep B C#m I wish for all the world B That I could say E F# "Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right A B These days."

F#m It makes me think of the bad decisions A That keep you at home. E A How could anyone else have changed, F#m But these are wrong conclusions A That leave you alone. E A How could everyone rearrange? E A How could everyone else have changed? F#m A What I see I believe. E For all the things I'm losing E Esus4 E I might as well resign myself to try and make a change. G#m A And I'm going down to Hollywood.
