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