          D                 B/D      G        Em
Would you stay for one night if I didn't come home?

       D                B/D        G        Em
At the end of a big fight, doesn't matter anymore

    D-Dsus4-D       B/D      G         Em
The point in my midlife, the situation stands

 G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4  G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4     
But hours pass like   years

G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4          B/D  D
       Wish you were here

G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4 RIFF             D
       Wish you were here

      D                B/D          G                 Em
Did I open an old wound?  Is there something I should know?

        D                 B/D             G           Em          
If it's all ending so soon, how could we possibly let go?

           D-Dsus4-D           B/D    G             Em
Comes to a head this is high noon    finale we have planned

 G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4   G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4     
But hours pass like    years

G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4           B/D  D
       Wish you were here

G                Asus4 B/D            D
Say the words so slow, say it without fear

G                 Asus4 B/D                D 
You won't turn to go,   you won't leave me here

       G              Asus4    B/D          D
If the past is all we know, my memories are clear

G-Asus4-B/D-Asus4 RIFF             D
       Wish you were here

If I told you, were you listening?  Did you know this from the start?

       D             Cadd9          B/D                Bb/D
Do the dates match exactly?  Do you plan when we would part?
 
      D              Cadd9         B/D                   Bb/D
If I won't wait for another year I guess you'll break my heart

    D  Cadd9  B/D Bb/D         D Cadd9 B/D Bb/D

    D              Cadd9      B/D            Bb/D 
So take this as a souvenir, remember me I'm waiting here

     Asus2      G             F#/D                  F      Em
The disappointed hanger-on who stayed behind while you moved on

                                 D
Wish you were here
