_ _ _ _ _ _ Have _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] you seen that book, Wonder, [N] in the stores?
Are you middle school teachers?
Have you included it in your curriculum? _
By RJ Palacio? _ _ _ _
It's a great book. _ _ _ _ _
_ It's actually a great book for everybody. _ _
_ It's called Wonder. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And I'm going to [C] meet her.
I'm [C#] excited.
I'm very excited.
She's coming to our show in New York tomorrow.
_ [A#m] _ _ [Fm] _ She was [F#] inspired by the song, but also by an encounter with a girl [C#] _
who was [A#m] _ _ [G#] extremely disabled.
_ [F#] _ _ So anyway, _ _ [D]
I thought since I'd already [C#] brought you down with _ [D] _ [B] _
the _ [G#] jealousy and song,
_ [C#] I was fully entitled.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] Doctor, I'm going to bring you up now.
[F] With love, with [F#] patience, with faith, to make a way, we're all going to feel better when it's [Em] over. _
_ [D#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ If [A#] you don't [A#m] cry, _ _ [G#] that's the main thing.
[F#] _ _
Good night.
_ _ _ No.
[D#] _
_ They have a [G#] babysitter.
Come on.
_ [F#] I perfectly [D] understand.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#]
Do what?
_ _ [N] When are you going to get a break?
_ In five. _ _ _ _
Oh. _ _ _ _ _ _
If I only had a brain.
It's so awesome. _
Do it again.
_ I _ _ _ _ _ [E] would not just be a [D#] nothing.
My head is [G#] worth a thing.
I'd _ _
[N] _ _ _ be thinking I could be another Lincoln if I only had a brain. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [N] _
