Intro: Am  Em  Dm  Em 

verse 1: 
Am                              Em 
   I tried to leave it all behind me  
                          Dm                    Em 
   But I woke up and there, they were beside me 
Am                              Em 
   And I don't believe it but I guess it's true 
Dm                         Em 
   Some feelings, they can travel too 
      Am                 Em 
   Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest 
            Dm                         Em 
   Makes it hard to catch my breath, I scramble for the light to change 

Pre-Chorus 1: 

Am        Em 
   You're always on my mind 
Dm        Em 
   You're always on my mind 

C                                     G 
   And I never minded being on my own 
F 
   Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home 
        C 
   To be where you are 
       G           F 
   But even closer to you, you seem so very far 

Dm 
   And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing 
Am                              G 
   And I hope it gets to you on some Pacific wind 
        F 
   Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear 
        G                          G/G# 
   Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here 

( Am  Em  Dm  Em ) 

verse 2: 
Am                             Em 
   And if I stay home, I don't know there'll be so much  
           Dm                       Em                   Am 
   That I'll have to let go, you're disappearing all the time 
               Em             Dm                  Em 
   But I still see you in the light, for you, the shadows fight 
   Am                                  Em 
   And it's beautiful but there's that tug in the sight 
               Dm                     Em 
   I must stop time traveling, you're always on my mind 

Pre-Chorus 2: 
Am        Em 
   You're always on my mind 
Dm        Em 
   You're always on my mind 

C                                     G 
   And I never minded being on my own 
F 
   Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home 
        C 
   To be where you are 
       G           F 
   But even closer to you, you seem so very far 

Dm 
   And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing 
Am                              G 
   And I hope it gets to you on some Pacific wind 
        F 
   Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear 
        G                          G/G# 
   Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here 

Bridge: 
Am      Em      F       Dm 
  (here)  (here)  (here)  (here)   
Am 
   We all need something watching over us 
   C 
   Be it the falcons, the clouds or the cross 
                Dm 
   And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless 
Em 
   Speechless 

C                                     G 
   And I never minded being on my own 
F 
   Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home 
        C 
   To be where you are 
       G           F 
   But even closer to you, you seem so very far 

Dm 
   And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing 
Am                              G 
   And I hope it gets to you on some Pacific wind 
        F 
   Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear 
        G                          G/G# 
   Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here 

Outro: 
C   G F 
        Wish that you were here 
C   G F 
        Wish that you were here 
Dm  Am  G 
        Wish that you were here 
F         G             G/G#   Am 
        I wish that you
