Verse 1:
      Eb
Got a postcard
A postcard from 
a better place
    Ab
And it read
I wish you were here
I wish you were
        Eb
And the soundtrack
The soundtrack from 
a better night
    Ab
And it sang
I wish you were here
You should have
stayed here


Refrain:
   Cm
As life leaves my eyes I 
   Bb
realize I must have died
   Ab
It looks like I didn’t make
it through the night


Chorus:
                       Eb
I never got to say goodbye
                      Bb
I’ll never get to say anything
                  Fm
at all again to a world
                        Ab
That barely knew I was alive
               Eb
Sing a requiem for me
                Bb
Make it sad but sweet
             Fm
A song about release
            Ab
A minor key symphony


Verse 2:
        Eb
Found a letter
A letter from A 
dear old friend
    Ab
And it said
"I wish you were here"
I wish you were
      Eb
And a prayer
A prayer in A 
familiar voice
    Ab
And she wept
I wish you were here
Why can’t you be here?


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)


Bridge:
Cm
  I got your flowers today
               Ab
So perfectly arranged
With a card attached
                          Cm
“I’m sorry you could not stay”
They came a little late
                       Bb
I had to wait til they died 
There’s no tears up here
But I’m sure that 
             Eb---G#(hold)
I would have cried


Verse 3:
Eb
  To everyone I’ve loved
                      Fm
To all who once loved me
                 Ab
I never meant to leave


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
               Eb
Sing a requiem for me
                Bb
Make it sad but sweet
             Fm
A song about release
            Ab(hold)
A minor key symphony
