Standard (EADGBE)

Riff

Intro

 Would you stay for one night if I didn't come home?

 At the end of a big fight, doesn't matter anymore

 The point in my midlife, the situation stands

 But hours pass like years

Wish you were here

--B/D- RIFF

Wish you were here

 Did I open an old wound? Is there something I should know?

 If it's all ending so soon, how could we possibly let go?

 Comes to a head this is high noon finale we have planned

 But hours pass like years

Wish you were here

Say the words so slow, say it without fear

You won't turn to go, you won't leave me here

 If the past is all we know, my memories are clear

--B/D- RIFF

Wish you were here

Outro

 If I told you, were you listening? Did you know this from the start?

 Do the dates match exactly? Do you plan when we would part?

 If I won't wait for another year I guess you'll break my heart

 So take this as a souvenir, remember me I'm waiting here

 The disappointed hanger-on who stayed behind while you moved on

 Wish you were here
