Intro
F Fsus4 F C A# (repeat twice)
[Verse]
F Fsus4 F
I miss my friends, I miss my house
C A#
but it's way too late to turn back now.
F Fsus4 F
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
C A#
places where I've never been.
Gm A# C
And I'm trying so hard,
Gm A# C D#
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
F Fsus4 F C A#
[Verse]
F Fsus4 F
Played a show in Michigan,
C A#
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
F Fsus4 F
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
C A#
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
F Fsus4 F
There was a motel down the street,
C A#
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
F Fsus4 F
so I slept in my car,
C A#
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
F
It's a long drive back home,
D# A#/D
but I can make it on my own.
F
Not a mile on my car,
D# A#/D
more powerful than my desires
F
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D# A#/D
is way too high for me to see.
F
Hope you have fun up there,
D# A#/D D# F
pretending anyone else cares.
A#/D D# F (x2)
[Verse]
F Fsus4 F
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
C A#
thinking my intention's on reverse.
F Fsus4 F
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
C A#
but never as a homewrecker.
F Fsus4 F
And sure, there once was a time,
C A#
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
F Fsus4 F
But that's all over now,
C A#
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
F
It's a long drive back home,
D# A#/D
but I can make it on my own.
F
Not a mile on my car,
D# A#/D
more powerful than my desires
F
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D# A#/D
is way too high for me to see.
F
Hope you have fun up there,
D# A#/D D# F
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
F
It's a long drive back home,
D# A#/D
but I can make it on my own.
F
Not a mile on my car,
D# A#/D
more powerful than my desires
F
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D# A#/D
is way too high for me to see.
F
Hope you have fun up there,
D# A#/D D# F
pretending anyone else cares.
F C
It's alright, we all changed,
D# A#
nothing can stay the same.
F C
You left me, left me lost,
D# A#
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
F C D# A#
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
F C D# A#
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
F C D# A#
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
F C D# A#
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
F
It's a long drive back home,
D# A#/D
but I can make it on my own.
F
Not a mile on my car,
D# A#/D
more powerful than my desires
F
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D# A#/D
is way too high for me to see.
F
Hope you have fun up there,
D# A#/D D# F
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
A#/D D# F (x2)
