Take it slow, tell me all how you' ve grown
D4
Just for me, could we all reminisce?
A E
Better yet, here' s a pen, make a list
D4
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
D4
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
D4
Just to hear, what I' ve been missing
A E
If a picture is all that I have
D4
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
D4
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
D4 A E
Thinking back on the days when we all used to say
D4
"I know anywhere' s better than here"
A E
In the back of the class, where we grew up too fast
D4
Living life like there' s nothing to fear
E F#m C#m
But the ice on the road, driving home all alone
D4
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
E F#m
The one that made you remember it
C#m D4
Now I' ll always remember it
E A
As the song that your life ended with

And they say you' re in a better place
F#m
But a better place is right here with me
D4 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
D4
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
E
Don' t say everything' s meant to be

Cause they say you' re in a better place

In the end, I just wish you were here
