"Wish I Were Here" from 'Next to Normal' Act 2 chords
Start Jamming...
[F] [D] [E] In an instant lightning flashes and the first might [B] leave me blind
[E] When the bolt of lightning crashes and it burns right [B] through my mind
[E] It's like someone drained my brain out set my frozen [B] mind off
[E] The sun a surgery and pain out while I stood and [B] watched it all
[Em] I am riding on [D] the [Em] brightest buzz
I am worlds away from who I was
[D] And [Em] they told me it would change me
Though they don't know how [F#m] it does
Though they don't know how it does
[B] I'm gray but this is crystal clear
Wish I [E] were here
Wish I [Em] were here
[B] I'd imagine it's remarkable
I'd be vibrant, austere
Wish I [G] were here
Wish I were here
Wish [A] I were here
[E] It's euphoria, it's anger
[A] It's the [Bm] winter wind, it's fire
It's the winter [E] wind, it's fire
And it kills my deepest hunger as it [Bm] whips us up
I'm [Em] the light and heat [D] of [Em] every sign
I'm the light and heat [D] of every sign
[Em] I'm a bullet from [Em] a magic gun
I'm a bullet from [D] a magic gun
And [Em] I'm trying to enjoy it
But I'm missing [Bm] all [F#m] the fun
I am missing all the fun
[B] I'm feeling what I think I'm feeling
The hope, the hate, the fear
Wish I [E] were here
Wish I were here
Is [Bm] this someone else or do I just
[G] Wish I were here
Wish I were [A] here
Wish I [D] were here
[D#] Plug
[A]
[B] me [F#m] in
And turn me [E] on
And flip the [D]
[A] switch
I'm good [D] as gone
[G] It soaks my skin
[C] And trips my brain
[Am] I feel the burn
But I [D] don't [B] feel the pain
But I don't feel the [F#] pain
But I don't feel the pain
My [Bm] brain reborn are easy tricks
And freedom over here
Wish I [E] was here
I have [Bm] life on my mind forever
Is that in my new clear
Wish [G] I was here
Wish I [E] was here
Wish [F#] I was here
Wish I was
Can [E] I [D]
fake some [Gm]
confidence [A] and cheer
Wish I were here
[G]
[C] [Em] Wish I were here
Wish I were here
