A#
Take it slow tell
me all how you've
F              D#
grown just for me
could we all reminisce?
A#
Better yet here's a
            F
pen make a list fill
     D#
it's full of all the
things I've missed
               F
Cause I could barely
drive past the school
    Gm
without stopping to
                 D#
think of you And how
we used to act the fool
     F
But worst of all I wish
               Gm
I'd called at least a
          Dm
thousand times or more
D#
Just to hear what
I've been missing

Chorus:
A#
If a picture is all
        F
that I have I can
picture the times
         D#
that we won't get back
If I picture it now
          Gm
it don't seem so bad
        F
Either way I still
               A#
wish you were here
Don't say everything's
          F
meant to be Cause you
know it's not what I
   D#
believe Can't help
but think that it
               Gm
should've been me
        F
Either way I still
               A#  F D#
wish you were here

Thinking back on the days
Where we all used to say
"I know anywhere's better than here"
In the back of the class
Where we grew up too fast
Living life like there's nothing to fear
But the ice on the road
Driving home all alone
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
The one that made you remember it
Now I'll always remember it
(I'll always remember it)
As the song that your life ended with

Chorus

Gm        D#
And they say you're
in a better place
A#
but a better place
                   Gm
is right here with me
           D#
Yeah they say you're
              F
in a better place
too bad it's not
what I believe

Chorus:
'Cause a picture is all that I have
To remind me that you're never coming back
If I picture it now it just makes me sad
And right now I just wish you were here
Don't say everything's meant to be
'Cause you know it's not what I believe
Can't help but think that it should've been me
In the end, I just wish you were here

Yeah they say you're in a better place
They say you're in a better place
Either way, I still wish you were here
They say you're in a better place
They say you're in a better place
In the end, I just wish you were here
