Wishing I Was There - Natalie Imbruglia
Tabbed: rkosheluk@earthlink.net
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
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
                      D/add9
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
A                     E
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
                      D/add9
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
A                     E
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you

Ending Chorus:
E             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
                      D/add9
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
A                     E
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
                      D/add9
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there
A                     E
Wishing I, wishing I, wishing I was there with you
