Lyrics

I tried to leave it all be hind me, but I woke up and there they were be side me.

And I don’t be lieve it, but I (Bm)guess it’s true:

some feel ings, they can (Bm)trav el, too.

Oh, there it is a gain,

(Bm)sit ting on my chest; makes it (Am)hard to catch my breath.

I scram ble for the light to check.

You’re (Bm)al ways on my mind,

you’re (Bm)al ways on my mind.

And I nev er mind ed be ing on my own.

Then some thing broke in me and I want ed to go home to be where you are.

But (D)e ven clos er (C)to you, you seem so ver y far.

And now I’m reach ing out with ev ’ry note I sing, and I hope it gets to you on (D)some pa cif ic wind, wraps it self a round you and whis pers in your ear, tells you that I miss you and I (B7)wish that you were here.

And if I stay, oh, I don’t know; there’ll be so much that I’ll have to let go.

You’re (Bm)dis ap pear ing all the (Em)time,

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

For you the (Bm)shad ows fight,

(Em)and it’s beau ti ful, but there’s that (Bm)tug in side.

I must stop (Am)time trav el ing.

You’re (Bm)al ways on my mind.

You’re (Bm)al ways on my mind.

You’re (Bm)al ways on my mind.

(B7)wish that you were here.

We all need some thing watch ing o ver us,

(G)be it the fal cons, the clouds or the cross.

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

speech less.

And I nev er mind ed be ing on my own.

Then some thing broke in me and I want ed to go home to be where you are.

But (D)e ven clos er (C)to you, you seem so ver y far.

And now I’m reach ing out with ev ’ry note I sing, and I hope it gets to you on (D)some pa cif ic wind, Wraps it self a round you and whis pers in your ear, tells you that I miss you and I (B7)wish that you were here.

Wish that you were here.

Wish that you were here.

(D)Wish that you were here.

I (D)wish that you...

Wish that you were here.

Wish that you were here.

(D)Wish that you were here.

I (D)wish that you...
