I WISH THAT I COULD WEAR HATS
As recorded by Brian David Gilbert

Capo 3rd fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Dm7
I wish that I could wear hats
    G
Without looking like a little lad
   C
Or looking like a little league dad
   Dm
Or looking like a guy named Chad
          Bb              D
But it seems my head will have to stay
    E            Em
Without a bowler or beret
     Am
Lest someone sees me and they say
    E                 Dm7
"Is that his style or bad cosplay?"
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm7
I wish I had no fears
      G7
About looking like I have no ears
              C
Or that I haven't left my house in years
                                Dm
Or I have strong opinions about beers
           C             D
Or looking like I got confused
                 Em                       E
In the middle of dressing for a steampunk con
           C
Or looking like I look too long in the mirror
             E
Every time I put a new hat on
 
 
[Verse 3]
          Dm7
Wondering why do I look so bad — or not bad
                  G
But sad that this hat won't look like I had
  C
A plan for this cap, to capitalize
   Dm
On how my face looks, my body this size
   Bb                     Dm
My eyes in my skull, this hat on my hair
    E7
The eyes that look at the things that I wear
    C
And how does it look? And how do I look?
    E7                                Dm7
And how can I look how I look and not care?
 
 
[Verse 4]
Dm7
Comparing my clothes with others, much closer
G7
To their own goals or some sort of closure
C
How do they do what they want and look planned?
                      F
I come to you now, my hat in my hand
 
 
[Outro]
  C                      D
I wish that I could wear hats
                 Em7
Without sparking something to recall
  C                      Am
I wish that I could wear hats
                E              Dm7
Without looking any way at all
