The guitar part for the verses is very abstract and I could barely
hear it, so I didn't put it in. And for the bridge I have NO IDEA
how to make that sound, hehe, so if you have any complaints than
TAB THE SONG YOURSELF! :) Anyway, here's the song setup.

Intro
Verse 1
Chorus
Verse 2

Bridge
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
End

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a million diamonds
Strewn across a blue plate
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy... happy...

Chorus:
I... wish you were here
I... wish you were here
I... wish you were here
I... wish you were here

Verse 2:
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backyard canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs, I signal with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy... happy...

(Chorus)

Bridge:
The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air, saying...
I... wish you were here...
I... wish you were...

(Chorus)

End:
Here......


Comments:
This song is the first single off of Incubus' new album,
Morning View, due out October 23rd, 2001. If you want to get
the MP3 of the file, check out www.incubusonline.com and it's
on their main page. It's a really nice song, and I hope the rest
of the album is this good, too, because this is by far the best
song of the summer. Oh, and I am sorry about not writing the
verse or the bridge parts, because I really have no clue what
they are! :) So if you have any questions, comments, death threats,
love letters, or corrections, just contact me using one of the above
methods. Thank you, drive through.
