Intro
G Gsus4 G D C (repeat twice)
[Verse]
G Gsus4 G
I miss my friends, I miss my house
D C
but it's way too late to turn back now.
G Gsus4 G
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
D C
places where I've never been.
Am C D
And I'm trying so hard,
Am C D F
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
G Gsus4 G D C
[Verse]
G Gsus4 G
Played a show in Michigan,
D C
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
G Gsus4 G
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
D C
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
G Gsus4 G
There was a motel down the street,
D C
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
G Gsus4 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/E
but I can make it on my own.
G
Not a mile on my car,
F C/E
more powerful than my desires
G
Come down, come down, your balcony,
F C/E
is way too high for me to see.
G
Hope you have fun up there,
F C/E F G
pretending anyone else cares.
C/E F G (x2)
[Verse]
G Gsus4 G
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
D C
thinking my intention's on reverse.
G Gsus4 G
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
D C
but never as a homewrecker.
G Gsus4 G
And sure, there once was a time,
D C
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
G Gsus4 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/E
but I can make it on my own.
G
Not a mile on my car,
F C/E
more powerful than my desires
G
Come down, come down, your balcony,
F C/E
is way too high for me to see.
G
Hope you have fun up there,
F C/E F G
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
G
It's a long drive back home,
F C/E
but I can make it on my own.
G
Not a mile on my car,
F C/E
more powerful than my desires
G
Come down, come down, your balcony,
F C/E
is way too high for me to see.
G
Hope you have fun up there,
F C/E 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/E
but I can make it on my own.
G
Not a mile on my car,
F C/E
more powerful than my desires
G
Come down, come down, your balcony,
F C/E
is way too high for me to see.
G
Hope you have fun up there,
F C/E F G
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
C/E F G (x2)
