Wish You Were Here Lyrics & Tabs by Bettye LaVette
Wish You Were Here
guitar chords lyrics
Oh, how I wish you were here
We were just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
And now I'm running over
That same old ground
What have I found?
The same old fears
Oh, how I wish you were here
So you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
All your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
Oh, how I wish you were here
We were just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
And now I'm running over
The same old ground
What have I found?
The same old fears
Sure do wish you were here
Sure do wish you were here
God, I wish you were here
