Intro
[B] [F#] [E]
Verse 1
[B]Take it slow
Tell me all how you've [F#]grown just for [E]me
Could we all reminisce
[B]Better yet, here's a pen
Make a [F#]list
Fill it [E]full with all the things I've missed
'Cause I can [F#]barely drive past the school
[G#m]Without stopping to think of you
And [E]how we used to act a fool
But [F#]worst of all I wish I called
At [G#m]least a thousand times or more
[E]Just to hear what I've been missing
Chorus
[B]If a picture is all that I [F#]have
I can picture the times that we [E]won't get back
If I picture it now it don't [G#m]seem so bad
Either [F#]way, I still wish you were [B]here
Don't say everything's meant to [F#]be
'Cause you know it's not what I [E]believe
Can't help but think that it should've been [G#m]me
Either [F#]way, I still wish you were [B]here
Interlude
[B] [F#] [E]
Verse 2
[B]Thinking back on the days
Where we all used to [F#]say
I know [E]anywhere's better than here
In the [B]back of the class
Where we grew up too [F#]fast
Living [E]life like there's nothing to fear
But the [F#]ice on the road
Driving [G#m]home all alone
Singing [E]along to a song from three summers ago
The one that [F#]made you remember [G#m]it
[D#5]Now I'll [E]always remember it
As the [F#]song that your life ended with
Chorus 1
[B]If a picture is all that I [F#]have
I can picture the times that we [E]won't get back
If I picture it now it don't [G#m]seem so bad
Either [F#]way, I still wish you were [B]here
Don't say everything's meant to [F#]be
'Cause you know it's not what I [E]believe
Can't help but think that it should've been [G#m]me
Either [F#]way, I still wish you were [G#m]here
Bridge
And they [E]say you're in a better [B]place
But a better place is right here with [G#m]me
Yeah they [E]say you're in a better [F#]place
Too bad it's not what I [B]believe
Chorus 2
'Cause a picture is all that I [F#]have
To remind me that you're never [E]coming back
If i picture it now it just makes me [G#m]sad
And right [F#]now I just wish you were [B]here
Don't say everything's meant to [F#]be
'Cause you know it's not what I [E]believe
Can't help but think that it should've been [G#m]me
In the [F#]end I just wish you were [B]here
Ending
Yeah they say you're in a better [F#]place
Either way I still wish you were [E]here
They say you're in a better [G#m]place
In the [F#]end I just wish you were [B]here
