Wishing I Was There - Natalie Imbruglia
Tabbed: [email protected]
This is tabbed at CAPO 1 to give it a deeper feeling and ease of playing
without having to tune-down your guitar. Previous versions were good but
missed the D/add9 in the progression and the ending chorus of the
“Wishing I” ‘s. Hope this works for you.

CAPO 1

D/add9: XX4230

Intro: E D/add9 A E (x2)

Verse 1:
E D/add9
Take your hand and place it in my pocket
D/add9
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
A E
Put those thoughts away sometimes they're much too loud
D/add9
I'll take a breath and cradle your sweet head
A
Should've stayed at home in bed
E
Put that face away I'm melting for you

Pre-Chorus:
A C#m
I know I get cold
E
Cause I can't leave things well alone
E
Understand I'm accident prone
A C#m
Me I'll get free
D A (stop)
Every night the moon is mine

Chorus:
(NC) E
But when the morning comes
D/add9
Don't say you love me
A
Don't say you need me
E
I really don't think that's fair
E
Boy I'm not so dumb
D/add9
But when you leave me
A E
I'll be wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there

Verse 2:
E D
I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
D
You just laughed and smiled
A
Denied the proof
E
We're fine till I think of the problem
E
I wish it made sense
D
Like a joke that no one gets
A
It's a life without regret
E
I want to feel that way, forever and ever

Pre-Chorus:
A C#m
I know I get cold
E
Cause I can't leave things well alone

Me I'll get free

Every night the moon is mine
