Introduction:
E
In an instant lightning flashes
Bm
And the burst might leave me blind
E
When the bolt of lightning crashes
Bm
And it burns right through my mind
E
It's like someone drained my brain out
Bm
Set my frozen mind to thaw
E
Let the lethargy and pain out
B
while I stood and watched in awe
Em
I am riding on the brightest buzz
Em
I am worlds away from who I was
Em
And they told me it would change me
F#
Though they don&rsquo t know how it does
Bm
I have lived a life of clouds and gray,
but this is crystal clear
Em
Wish I were here
Bm
I imagine it&rsquo s remarkable
Exuberant, austere
G
Wish I were here
A
Wish I were here
E
It's euphoria, it's anger
Bm
It's the winter wind, it's fire
E
And it kills my deepest hunger
Bm
As it fills me with desire
Em
I'm the light and heat of every sun
Em
I'm a bullet from a magic gun
Em
And I&rsquo m trying to enjoy it
F#m F#
But I&rsquo m missing all the fun
Bm
Am I feeling what I think I&rsquo m feeling?
The hope, the heat, the fear?
Em
Wish I were here
Bm
Is this someone else's head trick?
Do I just disappear?
G
Wish I were here
A
Wish I were here
Bm
Plug me in and turn me on
Em
And flip the switch, I&rsquo m good as gone
C
It&rsquo s slits my skin, and trips my brain
Am D F# B
I feel the burn but I don&rsquo t feel the pain
Bm
Is my brain reborn or is it wrecked
In freedom or in fear?
E
Wish I were here
Bm
Have I blown my mind forever?
Is cloudy my new clear?
G
Wish I were here
A Em
Wish I were here
F#
Wish I were...
Em F#m
Can I hide my stupid hunger
G Bm
Fake some confidence and cheer
G C D
Wish I were here
Wish I were here...
