G D Em7 Cadd9

Gone away are the golden days

G D Em7 Cadd9

Just a page in my diary

G D Em7 Cadd9

So here I am a utopian citizen

G D

Still convinced

Em7 Cadd9

There's no such thing as idealism

Bm C G

Memories they're following me like a shadow now

Dsus4

And I'm dreamin'

Bm C Dsus4

And I've already suffered the fever of disbelief

Chorus:

I've seen your act

And I know all the facts

Am C

I'm still in love with who I wish you were

It aint hard to see

Who you are underneath

Am C

I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And I wish you were here

G D Em7 Cadd9

I was true as the sky is blue

G D Em7 Cadd9

I couldn't soon say the same for you

G D Em7 C

So now I find denial in my eyes

G D Em7 C

I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind

Bm G C

Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart

Dsus4

For what it is

Bm G C

'Cause I don't want to keep on believin' in illusions

Chorus:

I've seen your act

And I know all the facts

Am C

I'm still in love with who I wish you were

It aint hard to see

Who you are underneath

Am C

I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And I wish you were here

Bridge:

Em Am C

Sometimes I can't explain

D Em

And I'm so sorry that I can't

Am C

I'll try to concentrate

On your true identity

Chorus (2x)

G D Em7 Cadd9

I wish you were here...

G D Em7 Cadd9

I wish you were here...

G C9

I wish you were here...
