[G]They broke into your c[D]ar last night, t[C]ook the stereo

The ga[G]rage man didn't see a t[D]hing,so you g[Em]uess it was an inside j[C]ob[D] [C]
[G]You made a reserv[D]ation, a t[C]able for three
[G]They said you'd have to w[D]ait, somebody must have br[C]ibed the maitre'd
[G]Boss got mad and he bl[D]amed it all on y[C]ou

(chorus)
Well o[C]ut here in the mi[G]ddle you can p[D]ark it on the st[G]reet
S[C]tep up to the cou[G]nter; nearly a[D]lways get a seat
N[C]obody st[G]eals, No[D]body ch[Em]eats
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
[G]We got tract[D]or pulls and R[C]ed Man chew
[G]Corporate relo [D]refugees that [C]need love too
[G]we ain't seen E[D]lvis in a [Em]year or two[C] [D] [C]

[G]Amber wa[D]ves of grain and bath[C]tub speed
[G]Now we even got S[D]tarbucks,[Em] what else you need?[C] [D] [C]
(chorus)
[C]Out here in the mi[G]ddle where the ce[D]nter's on the ri[G]ght
And the g[C]host of William J[G]ennings Bryan p[D]reaches every night
To s[C]ave the lonely so[G]uls in the d[D]ashboard l[Em]ights
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
[C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D]
(chorus)
Out he[C]re in the middle [G]Where the buff[D]alo roam[G]
W[C]e're putting up t[G]owers for your[D] cell phones
A[C]nd we sc[G]reen all[D] applic[Em]ants with a fine-tooth comb
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
W[C]ish you were h[G]ere my lov[D]e
