Wish You Were Here

Chords

Standard

[Verse 1]
C
Take it slow
        G                             F
Tell me all how you've grown just for me

Could we all reminisce
C                    G
Better yet, here's a pen

Make a list
          F
Fill it full with all the things I've missed
             G
'Cause I can barely drive past the school
     Am
Without stopping to think of you
          F
And how we used to act a fool
  G
But worst of all I wish I called

Am
At least a thousand times or more
F
Just to hear what I've been missing


[Chorus]
C                           G
If a picture is all that I have
                                F
I can picture the times that we won't get back
                             Am
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
       G                          C
Either way, I still wish you were here
                                G
Don't say everything's meant to be
                                F
'Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                            Am
Can't help but think that it should've been me
       G                          C
Either way, I still wish you were here


[Verse 2]
C                    G
Thinking back on the days
                     F
Where we all used to say

I know anywhere's better than here
C
In the back of the class
G                    F    
Where we grew up too fast

Living life like there's nothing to fear
G
But the ice on the road
Am
Driving home all alone
        F
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
             G                 Am
The one that made you remember it
         F
Now I'll always remember it
       G             
As the song that your life ended with

[Chorus]
C                          G
If a picture is all that I have
                           F
I can picture the times we won't get back
                                     Am
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
       G                          C
Either way, I still wish you were here
                                G
Don't say everything's meant to be
                                F
'Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                            Am
Can't help but think that it should've been me
       G                          C
Either way, I still wish you were here



[Bridge]
    F                           C
And they say you're in a better place
      Am                              F
But a better place is right here with me
     F                            C
Yeah they say you're in a better place
     G                  C
Too bad it's not what I believe

[Chorus 2]

C                              G
'Cause a picture is all that I have
                         F
To remind me that you're never coming back
                            Am 
If I picture it now it just makes me sad
    G                              C 
And right now I just wish you were here
                                G
Don't say everything's meant to be
                                F  
'Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                            Am
Can't help but think that it should've been me
       G                         C
In the end, I just wish you were here

[End]
      G                          F
Yeah they say you're in a better place
       Am                         C
Either way I still wish you were here
   G                        C
They say you're in a better place
       G                        C
In the end I just wish you were here
