Intro
A Asus4 A E D (repeat twice)
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
I miss my friends, I miss my house
E D
but it's way too late to turn back now.
A Asus4 A
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
E D
places where I've never been.
Bm D E
And I'm trying so hard,
Bm D E G
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
A Asus4 A E D
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
Played a show in Michigan,
E D
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
A Asus4 A
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
E D
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
A Asus4 A
There was a motel down the street,
E D
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
A Asus4 A
so I slept in my car,
E D
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
A
It's a long drive back home,
G D/F#
but I can make it on my own.
A
Not a mile on my car,
G D/F#
more powerful than my desires
A
Come down, come down, your balcony,
G D/F#
is way too high for me to see.
A
Hope you have fun up there,
G D/F# G A
pretending anyone else cares.
D/F# G A (x2)
[Verse]
A Asus4 A
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
E D
thinking my intention's on reverse.
A Asus4 A
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
E D
but never as a homewrecker.
A Asus4 A
And sure, there once was a time,
E D
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
A Asus4 A
But that's all over now,
E D
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
A
It's a long drive back home,
G D/F#
but I can make it on my own.
A
Not a mile on my car,
G D/F#
more powerful than my desires
A
Come down, come down, your balcony,
G D/F#
is way too high for me to see.
A
Hope you have fun up there,
G D/F# G A
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
A
It's a long drive back home,
G D/F#
but I can make it on my own.
A
Not a mile on my car,
G D/F#
more powerful than my desires
A
Come down, come down, your balcony,
G D/F#
is way too high for me to see.
A
Hope you have fun up there,
G D/F# G A
pretending anyone else cares.
A E
It's alright, we all changed,
G D
nothing can stay the same.
A E
You left me, left me lost,
G D
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
A E G D
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
A E G D
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
A E G D
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
A E G D
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
A
It's a long drive back home,
G D/F#
but I can make it on my own.
A
Not a mile on my car,
G D/F#
more powerful than my desires
A
Come down, come down, your balcony,
G D/F#
is way too high for me to see.
A
Hope you have fun up there,
G D/F# G A
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
D/F# G A (x2)
