Wish That You Were Here

I tried to leave it all behind me,

but I woke up and there they were beside me.

(Em)And I don't believe it, but I (Bm)guess it's true:

(Am)some feelings, they can (Bm)travel, too.

Oh, there it is again,

sitting on my chest;

makes it (Am)hard to catch my breath.

I scramble for the light to check.

(Em)You're (Bm)always on my mind,

you're always on my mind.

And I never minded being on my own.

(C)Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home to be where you are.

But (D)even closer (C)to you, you seem so very far.

(Am)And now I'm reaching out with ev'ry note I sing,

(Em)and I hope it gets to you on (D)some pacific wind,

wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear,

tells you that I miss you and I (B7)wish that you were here.

(Em)And if I stay, oh, I don't know;

there'll be so much that I'll have to let go.

You're (Bm)disappearing all the (Em)time,

but I still (Bm)see you in the light.

For you the shadows fight,

(Em)and it's beautiful, but there's that (Bm)tug inside.

I must stop (Am)time traveling.

You're (Bm)always on my mind.

(Em)You're (Bm)always on my mind.

(Am7)You're (Bm)always on my mind.

(B7)wish that you were here.

(Em)We all need something watching over us,

(G)be it the falcons, the clouds or the cross.

And then the (Am7)sea swept in and left us all speechless,

(Bm)speechless.

(G)And I never minded being on my own.

(C)Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home to be where you are.

But (D)even closer (C)to you, you seem so very far.

(Am)And now I'm reaching out with ev'ry note I sing,

(Em)and I hope it gets to you on (D)some pacific wind,

Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear,

tells you that I miss you and I (B7)wish that you were here.

(Cmaj7)Wish that you were here.
