[Intro] A  E  D2   

A                                   E
Take it slow, tell me all how you've grown
        D2   
Just for me, could we all reminisce?
A                                E
Better yet, here's a pen, make a list
        D2   
Fill it full of all the things I've missed

                E
Cause I could barely drive past the school
F#m                 C#m
Without stopping to think of you
   D2   
And how we used to act the fool
    E                                  F#m             C#m
But worst of all I wish I'd called at least a thousand times or more
D2   
Just to hear, what I've been missing

A                           E
If a picture is all that I have
                                D2   
I can picture the times that we won't get back
                             F#m
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
       E                          A
Either way, I still wish you were here
                                E
Don't say everything's meant to be
                               D2   
Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                           F#m
Can't help but think that it should've been me
       E
Either way I still wish you were here

( A  E  D2 )

D2        A                                   E
Thinking back on the days when we all used to say
         D2   
"I know anywhere's better than here"
        A                                       E
In the back of the class, where we grew up too fast
      D2   
Living life like there's nothing to fear

        E                        F#m      C#m
But the ice on the road, driving home all alone
        D2   
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
              E                   F#m
The one that made you remember it
C#m       D2   
Now I'll always remember it
        E                 A
As the song that your life ended with

A                           E
If a picture is all that I have
                                D2   
I can picture the times that we won't get back
                             F#m
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
        E                         A
Either way, I still wish you were here
                                E
Don't say everything's meant to be
                               D2   
Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                           F#m
Can't help but think that it should've been me
        E
Either way I still wish you were here

( F#m )

F#m     D2                         A
And they say you're in a better place
                                      F#m
But a better place is right here with me
          D2                         E
Yeah, they say you're in a better place
                             A
Too bad it's not what I believe

                       E
Cause a picture is all that I have
                               D2   
To remind me that you're never coming back
                            F#m
If I picture it now it just makes me sad
           E
And right now I just wish you were here

( A )

                                E
Don't say everything's meant to be
                               D2   
Cause you know it's not what I believe
                                           F#m
Can't help but think that it should've been me
        E
In the end I still wish you were here

F#m       D2                         A
Yeah, they say you're in a better place
        E
Either way I still wish you were here
F#m       D2                         A
Cause they say you're in a better place
        E
In the end, I just wish you were here
