E5 B5 F#5 A5 B5 (6x)
B5 A5 F#5 A5 (2x)
B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
I dig my toes into the sand
B5 A5 F#5
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
A5 B5
Strewn across a blue blanket
B5 A5
I lean against the wind
F#5 A5 B5
Pretend that I am weightless
B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
And in this moment I am happy...happy
E5 B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
I wish you were here
B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
I lay my head onto the sand
B5 A5 F#5
The sky resembles a back lit canopy
A5 B5
With holes punched in it
B5 A5
I'm counting UFOs
F#5 A5 B5
I signal them with my lighter
B5 A5 F#5 A5 B5
And in this moment I am happy...happy
E5 B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 D5 F#5 G5
I wish you were here
F#5
The world's a roller coaster
D5
And I am not strapped in
F#5
Maybe I should hold with care
G5
But my hands are busy in the air saying:
E5 B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were
E5 B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 E5
I wish you were here
B5 F#5 A5 B5 F#5 D5 F#5 G5
I wish you were here
