# WISH YOU WERE HERE [Intro – repeating jangly electric guitar riff, bass and dry drums enter] [Verse 1 – loose, youthful male vocal] Your sweater's by the door Been there since you left I don't wear it anymore But I haven't moved it yet TV's on again I don't watch a thing I just like the noise it makes When the room gets quiet [Instrumental – main guitar riff repeats] [Verse 2 – same casual melody] Drove around last night Took the longer way Passed the place we used to go Didn't know what else to say Your street looks the same Guess that's how it goes Funny how the whole town stays When somebody doesn't [Chorus – simple rising melody, same driving groove] Wish you were here Wish you were here I don't wanna know Where you go Wish you were here Wish you were here Just for a while Like before [Post-Chorus – bright guitar riff, distant wordless vocal] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Verse 3 – slightly rougher vocal] I still sleep too late Still forget to eat Still leave the television on When I'm falling asleep Someone said your name I pretended not to hear It's been almost half a year Funny how you're still here [Chorus – same groove, slightly more energy] Wish you were here Wish you were here I don't wanna know Where you go Wish you were here Wish you were here Just for a while Like before [Instrumental – guitar riff repeats, bass more prominent] [Bridge – drums continue, vocal nearly conversational] Maybe if you came around We'd have nothing left to say Maybe I just miss the way We used to waste our days [Final Chorus – same melody, loose doubled last line] Wish you were here Wish you were here I don't wanna know Where you go Wish you were here Wish you were here Just for a while Like before [Outro – guitar riff alone] Your sweater's by the door I think I'll leave it there A little more [Instrumental fade]
