I wish I could shop [B] in malls [A] open, [B] with my family, and [G#m] my pastor, [G#] and my grandfather [F#] who's dead.
[A] [B] I look straight in the [E] mirror, [F#] [B] I watch it [C#] come clearer.
[F#] I look [E] like a painter, [B]
behind [F#] all the grease.
[A] The [E]
painting's creating, [A] [B]
and I'm [C#m] just erasing.
[E]
A crystal clear canvas, [B] [F#]
is my masterpiece.
[A] [B] I wish [C#] I could fly [C#m] from [E] this building, [A#m] from this wall.
