[Opening]
[G]It’s 2:00 AM, in your car
Windows down, you pass my street, the memories start
You say it’s in the past, you drive straight ahead
[Em]You’re thinking that I hate you now
Cause you [C]still don’t know what I [D]never said
[section 2]
[G]I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, and I [Em]
Wish you knew that, I’d never forget you as long as I live, and I
[C]Wish you were right here, right [D]now
It’s all good, I wish you [G]would
[section 3]
[G]It’s 2:00 AM, in my room, headlights pass the window pane
I think of you, we’re a crooked love
In a straight line down, [Em]makes you want to run and hide
Then it [C]makes you turn right [D]back around
[chorus]
[G]I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, and I [Em]
Wish you knew that, I’d never forget you as long as I live, and I
Wish you were right here, right now, It’s all good
I wish you would, I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for, and I
Wish you knew that, I miss you too much to be mad anymore, and I
[C]Wish you were right here, right [D]now
It’s all good, I wish you [G]would
[chorus]
[G](I, I, I-I, I, I, I wish I, wish I)
[Em](I, I, I-I, I, I, I wish I, wish I)
[C](I, I, I-I, I, I [D], I wish I, wish I)
[G]You always knew how to push my buttons
[Em]You give me everything and nothing
[C]This mad mad [D]love makes you come running
[G]Stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you [Em]would
I wish you would, I wish you [C]would
[D]I wish I wish
[Closing]
[G]2:00 AM, here we are, see your face, hear my voice in the dark
We’re a crooked love, in a straight line down
[Em]Makes you wanna run and hide
But it [C]made us turn right [D]back around
[chorus]
[G]I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I [Em]
Wish you knew that, I’d never forget you as long as I live, and I
[C]Wish you were right here, right [D]now
It’s all good, I wish you [G]would
[G]I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did, I
[Em]Wish you knew that
I’d never forget you as long as I live, and I
[C]Wish you were right here, right [D]now
It’s all good
I wish you [G]would
[G]I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for, and I
[Em]Wish you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad anymore, and I
[C]Wish you were right here, right [D]now
It’s all good, I wish you would
[chorus]
