I had to try and learn it. After about a half-hour...this is what I've got. Sorry for all the periods...it seemed to be the only way I could space everything out correctly.

 

 

Wishful Thinking

 

No capo.

Intro/Verse chords - Dmaj, F#min, Bmin, Emaj, Gmaj, Dmaj, Gmaj

 

Emin.........................Dmaj

Fill up your mind with all it can know

.........Gmaj.............................Emin

Don't forget that your body will let it all go

................................Dmaj.............Gmaj

Fill up your mind with all it can know

Dmaj...............Bmin........Gmaj..............Intro/Verse chords

What would we be without wishful thinking

 

Dmaj

Chambers of chains

........F#min

With red plastic mouths

.......Bmin

The inside of outside

Emaj

No one has found

Gmaj........................Dmaj

How to unring the bell

.....................Gmaj

It's just as well

 

.......Dmaj

The turntable sizzles

F#min

Casting the spells

.......Bmin

The pressure devices

Emaj

Hell in a nutshell

.....Gmaj........................Dmaj

Is any song worth singing

.......................Gmaj

If it doesn't help

 

Emin.........................Dmaj

Fill up your mind with all it can know

........Gmaj..............................Emin

Don't forget that your body can let it all go

................................Dmaj.............Gmaj

Fill up your mind with all it can know

...........Dmaj................Bmin........Gmaj...............Intro/Verse chords

'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking

 

Dmaj.....................F#min

Open your arms as far as they will go

......Bmin

We take off your dress

..........Emaj

An embarrassing poem

........Gmaj............................Dmaj

Was written when I was alone

.......................Gmaj

In love with you

 

..Dmaj

I shook down those lines

.....F#min

To shine up the streets

........Bmin................................Emaj

I got up off my hands and knees

.....Gmaj..............................Dmaj............Gmaj

To thank my lucky stars that you're not me

 

Dmaj...............Bmin........Gmaj..............Dmaj...F#min

What would we be without wishful thinking

What would we be without wishful thinking

What would we be without wishful thinking

Dmaj...............Bmin........Gmaj..............Dmaj...Bmin

What would we be without wishful thinking

Amin................Emin........Gmaj..............Dmaj...Bmin

What would we be without wishful thinking

Amin................Emin........Gmaj..............Dmaj...Bmin

What would we be without wishful thinking

 

Amin................Emin........Gmaj

Dmaj...F#min...Bmin...Emaj

ive been playing along on with this one with a capo on 2, and those same chords transposed.....so the opening chord progression would be c, em, am, d, f, c, f and so on....

 

i think it sounds better like this - anyone have any thoughts??

That switch to A minor at the end is genius.
