Capo 2nd Fret
**************************************************************
G D C
They broke into your car last night, took the stereo
G D C
Now you say you don't know why you even live there anymore
G D Em C D C
The garage man didn't see a thing,so you guess it was an inside job
G D C
You made a reservation, a table for three
G D C
They said you'd have to wait, somebody must have bribed the maitre'd
G D C
Boss got mad and he blamed it all on you
G D Em C D C
Food was bad and the deal fell through
(chorus)
C G D G
Well out here in the middle you can park it on the street
C G D
Step up to the counter; nearly always get a seat
C G D Em
Nobody steals, Nobody cheats
C G D
Wish you were here my love
C G D
Wish you were here my love
G D C
We got tractor pulls and Red Man chew
G D C
Corporate relo refugees that need love too
G D Em C D C
we ain't seen Elvis in a year or two
G D C
we got justification for wealth and greed~
G D C
Amber waves of grain and bathtub speed
G D Em C D C
Now we even got Starbucks, what else you need?
(chorus)
C G D G
Out here in the middle where the center's on the right
C G D
And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night
C G D Em
To save the lonely souls in the dashboard lights
C G D
Wish you were here my love
C G D
Wish you were here my love
C G D C G D
(chorus)
C G D G
Out here in the middle Where the buffalo roam
C G D
We're putting up towers for your cell phones
C G D Em
And we screen all applicants with a fine-tooth comb
C G D
Wish you were here my love
C G D
Wish you were here my love
C G D
Wish you were here my love
