Intro
C# C#sus4 C# G# F# (repeat twice)
[Verse]
C# C#sus4 C#
I miss my friends, I miss my house
G# F#
but it's way too late to turn back now.
C# C#sus4 C#
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
G# F#
places where I've never been.
D#m F# G#
And I'm trying so hard,
D#m F# G# B
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
C# C#sus4 C# G# F#
[Verse]
C# C#sus4 C#
Played a show in Michigan,
G# F#
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
C# C#sus4 C#
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
G# F#
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
C# C#sus4 C#
There was a motel down the street,
G# F#
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
C# C#sus4 C#
so I slept in my car,
G# F#
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
C#
It's a long drive back home,
B F#/A#
but I can make it on my own.
C#
Not a mile on my car,
B F#/A#
more powerful than my desires
C#
Come down, come down, your balcony,
B F#/A#
is way too high for me to see.
C#
Hope you have fun up there,
B F#/A# B C#
pretending anyone else cares.
F#/A# B C# (x2)
[Verse]
C# C#sus4 C#
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
G# F#
thinking my intention's on reverse.
C# C#sus4 C#
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
G# F#
but never as a homewrecker.
C# C#sus4 C#
And sure, there once was a time,
G# F#
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
C# C#sus4 C#
But that's all over now,
G# F#
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
C#
It's a long drive back home,
B F#/A#
but I can make it on my own.
C#
Not a mile on my car,
B F#/A#
more powerful than my desires
C#
Come down, come down, your balcony,
B F#/A#
is way too high for me to see.
C#
Hope you have fun up there,
B F#/A# B C#
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
C#
It's a long drive back home,
B F#/A#
but I can make it on my own.
C#
Not a mile on my car,
B F#/A#
more powerful than my desires
C#
Come down, come down, your balcony,
B F#/A#
is way too high for me to see.
C#
Hope you have fun up there,
B F#/A# B C#
pretending anyone else cares.
C# G#
It's alright, we all changed,
B F#
nothing can stay the same.
C# G#
You left me, left me lost,
B F#
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
C# G# B F#
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
C# G# B F#
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
C# G# B F#
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
C# G# B F#
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
C#
It's a long drive back home,
B F#/A#
but I can make it on my own.
C#
Not a mile on my car,
B F#/A#
more powerful than my desires
C#
Come down, come down, your balcony,
B F#/A#
is way too high for me to see.
C#
Hope you have fun up there,
B F#/A# B C#
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
