[Intro: ]G D Em7 C9
G D Em7 C9
Gone away are the golden days
G D Em7 C9
Just a page in my diary
G D Em7 C9
So here I am a utopian citizen
G D
Still convinced
Em7 C9
There's no such thing as idealism
Bm C G
Memories they're following me like a shadow now
Dsus
And I'm dreamin'
Bm C Dsus
And I've already suffered the fever of disbelief
Chorus:
G
I've seen your act
D
And I know all the facts
Am C
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
G
It aint hard to see
D
Who you are underneath
Am C
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
C
And I wish you were here
G D Em7 C9
G D Em7 C9
I was true as the sky is blue
G D Em7 C9
I couldn't soon say the same for you
G D Em7 C
So now I find denial in my eyes
G D Em7 C
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind
Bm G C
Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart
Dsus
For what it is
Bm G C
'Cause I don't want to keep on believin' in illusions
Chorus:
G
I've seen your act
D
And I know all the facts
Am C
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
G
It aint hard to see
D
Who you are underneath
Am C
I'm still in love with who I wish you were
C
And I wish you were here
Bridge:
Em Am C
Sometimes I can't explain
D Em
And I'm so sorry that I can't
Am C
I'll try to concentrate
D
On your true identity
Chorus (2x)
G D Em7 C9

I wish you were here...

I wish you were here...
