Wish You Were Here
Incubus

Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

Asus2 = |002200|

Everything is actually played as power chords besides the Asus2, but that sounds a bit 
too empty with just one acoustic guitar to me.

Intro
|Asus2 E |F#m A E |x2
|Asus2 E |Bm  D E |Asus2 E |F#m A E |x2

Verse

|Bm A|F#m D|x2

|Bm     A                   |F#m D |
   I dig my toes into the sand
|Bm         A                     |F#m               D                  |
   The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
|Bm      A                |F#m          D                |
   I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
|Bm           A           |F#m  D      |
   and in this moment i am happy, happy

Chorus

|Asus2 E|Bm    D       E            |
       I...        wish you were here

       I...        wish you were here

|Bm     A                   |F#m D |
   I lay my head onto the sand
|Bm       A                    |F#m       D                   |
   The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
|Bm            A   |F#m               D             |
   I'm counting ufo's, I signal them with my lighter
|Bm           A           |F#m  D       |
   and in this moment i am happy, happy.

       I...        wish you were...

|F#m   A|G  G  |
|F#m                       A  |G                         |
   The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.
|F#m                        A           |G                                |
   Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air saying
