[Intro]
| B | Abm7 | A | E |
[Verse 1]
B
Little girl at a lonely well
Abm7
With the same little tale to tell
A
Feeling trapped by the walls that hold her
E
Feeling stuck in the story they've told her
B
Another day where she fades away
Abm7
Never daring to disobey
A
So she's dreaming all alone
Bbm7b5 Eb
Sharing secrets with the stone
Abm7 E
My father told me long ago
B
I braved a bitter storm of snow
Dbm7 E Gbsus4
Is that a girl I'll ever know again?
D
I'm waiting on a wish
[Chorus]
Beneath a thousand treetops
A/Db
And as the silver sky stops
Bm7 G
I send a whisper to the water
D
Waiting on a wish
Holding out for someday
A/Db
Hoping somehow, some way
Bm7 G
I'll become my father's daughter
D
I close my eyes and see
A
The girl I'm meant to be
Bm7 Gm
Is she a part of me I've yet to find?
D/A
Wondering, "Will she appear?
A7
Or will I be forever here
D A/Db
Waiting on a wish?"
[Verse 2]
B
Little girl by a wild wood
Abm7
How she tries to be someone good
A
But in the shadow the kingdom's caught in
E Gb
Somehow, fairness is long forgotten
Abm7 E
So will she rise or bow her head?
Gbsus4
Will she lead or just be led?
Dbm7 E Gbsus4
Is she the girl she always said she'd be?
D
I'm waiting on a wish
[Chorus]
Beneath a thousand treetops
A/Db
And as the silver sky stops
Bm7 G
I long to leave the walls behind me
D
Waiting on a wish
Holding out for someday
A/Db
Hoping somehow, some way
Bm7 G
There comes a miracle to find me
D
I close my eyes and see
A
The girl I'm meant to be
Bm7 Gm
Is she a part of me I've had to hide?
D/A
Wondering, "Will she appear?
A7
Or will I spend another year
Bm
Waiting on a wish?"
[Bridge]
G
They say, "All you have to do
D
To make your wish come true
A
Is let it echo, echo, echo, echo
Bm G
Your voice will carry through
D
And bring that dream to you
A
Just like an echo, echo, echo"
C G D
Well, I can hear the echo loud and clear
Bm7 Gbm7 G
But I'm still waiting here
D
Waiting on a wish
[Chorus]
A/Db Bm7 G
Beyond a whisper to the water
D
Waiting on a wish
Is it almost someday?
A/Db
Can I somehow, some way
Bm7 G
Learn to be my father's daughter?
D/A
Someone who could finally start
Gb/Bb
Start speaking with a fearless heart
Bm7
Someone who just might be brave
Bm7/E E
Someone no one needs to save
D/A
Well, I can always dream, but then
A7sus4
I wake up and it's me again
D
Waiting on a wish
A/Db Bm7
Waiting on a wish
G Gmadd9 D
Waiting on a wish
