[Cm]
Staring at shadows on the wall
Wish I knew of someone [F]
[Cm] I could call
Someone [G]
[F] who might understand [Cm] it all
Through [F] Beverly
So wish [Cm] you were there with me
Someone flying windy in my bed
Some stranger who don't understand my head
[G]
[F] Wishing were you lying here [Cm] instead
Through [F] Beverly
So [Cm] wish you were here with me
[Em]
[F] Drowning in a sea of [Cm] red dead faces
Me [G]
[F] and twenty many [Cm] thousand towns
[E]
[F] Packing up and going [Cm] different places
But
[F] I sure miss having you [Cm] around
I listen [Bb] to the [F] noise of [Cm] down the hall
Think I'll move out [F] of here [Cm] in the fall
I [G]
[F] ain't exactly having me [Cm] a fall
[F] Through Beverly
So wish you were here [Cm] with me
