You Were Here

 C                       D/F#               C                     D/F# 
Are there no blinders on lights that blare
             C   D/F#                     C   D/F# 
White noise on the eyes
           C                     D/F#             C                   D/F# 
From gas station lots and reflected ice -- glare
                 C                   D/F#               C       D/F# 
So that I can walk home by moonlight -- alone

verse 2
       C                 D/F#         C                       D/F# 
Or can we go out to where the wind howls
         C           D/F#       C                 D/F# 
And stand alee against the trees
                 C                     D/F#                     C                       D/F# 
They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house
                 C             D/F#                   C                 D/F#       G 
It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be
 G             C  D           G                           C             D 
    I can lie to myself and say I like it
 G                           C         D         C           D/F# 
    But I would love it if you were here

verse 3
             C               D/F#   C                   D/F# 
These words on paper smell like you
     C     D/F#       C                           D/F# 
Associated in random thought
 C         D/F#         C                   D/F# 
On my lips the words turn blue
 C   D/F#       C  D/F#   G 
Evanescent feeling lost
 G             C  D           G                           C             D 
    I can lie to myself and say I like it
 G                           C         D           G                   C   D 
    But I would love it if you were here
 G                   C  D             G                           C       D 
    I'm just sad for myself because I know you're clear

    But I would love it if you were here

I can just see you show me your gardens
     C                                   D/F#           C                         D/F# 
I thought you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines
     C                 D/F#                   C                       D/F# 
I wanted to know you when we were both older
     C                                   D/F#                   C   D/F#     G 
I thought there'd be more of those wonderful times
 G             C  D           G                           C             D 
    I can lie to myself and say I like it

    But I would love it if you were here
