Hearts ache the same way,

back home as they do here,

Another drink in this pub won't make 'em disappear.

She puts the prose right on my page,
Db Gb
Lately I feel artistically caged,
Db C Bbm Ab
Like another crumb thrown off O'Connell Bridge,
Gb Ab
For a seagull to take.
[Pre-chorus]
Gb
She knows my heart, she knows how to start it,
Db
She knows my heart, she knows how to start it,
Gb
She knows my heart, she knows how to start it,
Db
When I'm broke down and lonely.
Bbm Ab
It's midnight in the center of the city,
[Chorus]
Db Db/F Gb
I wish you were here with me.
Db Db/F Gb
I wish you were here with me.

Wishing you were here with me.

[Bridge]
Bbm Ab
Excuse my jingle jangle jargon,
Bbm Ab
This melody won't rhyme with nothing,
Db Gb Ab
But clues of you in everything that I see.
Bbm Ab
Was that your silhouette in St. Stephen's Green,
Bbm Ab
Coming over to rescue me?
Db Gb
From the worst of myself, from the feelings
Ab
I no longer felt.
[Chorus]
Db Db/F Gb
I wish you were here with me.
Db Db/F Gb
I wish you were here with me.
Db Db/F Gb
I'm all alone in Dublin, searching for something,
Db
Wishing you were here with me.
[Outro]
Db Db/F Gb
She knows my heart,
Db Db/F Gb
she knows how to start it
