Intro
E Esus4 E B A (repeat twice)
[Verse]
E Esus4 E
I miss my friends, I miss my house
B A
but it's way too late to turn back now.
E Esus4 E
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
B A
places where I've never been.
F#m A B
And I'm trying so hard,
F#m A B D
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
E Esus4 E B A
[Verse]
E Esus4 E
Played a show in Michigan,
B A
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
E Esus4 E
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
B A
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
E Esus4 E
There was a motel down the street,
B A
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
E Esus4 E
so I slept in my car,
B A
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
E
It's a long drive back home,
D A/C#
but I can make it on my own.
E
Not a mile on my car,
D A/C#
more powerful than my desires
E
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D A/C#
is way too high for me to see.
E
Hope you have fun up there,
D A/C# D E
pretending anyone else cares.
A/C# D E (x2)
[Verse]
E Esus4 E
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
B A
thinking my intention's on reverse.
E Esus4 E
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
B A
but never as a homewrecker.
E Esus4 E
And sure, there once was a time,
B A
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
E Esus4 E
But that's all over now,
B A
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
E
It's a long drive back home,
D A/C#
but I can make it on my own.
E
Not a mile on my car,
D A/C#
more powerful than my desires
E
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D A/C#
is way too high for me to see.
E
Hope you have fun up there,
D A/C# D E
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
E
It's a long drive back home,
D A/C#
but I can make it on my own.
E
Not a mile on my car,
D A/C#
more powerful than my desires
E
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D A/C#
is way too high for me to see.
E
Hope you have fun up there,
D A/C# D E
pretending anyone else cares.
E B
It's alright, we all changed,
D A
nothing can stay the same.
E B
You left me, left me lost,
D A
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
E B D A
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
E B D A
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
E B D A
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
E B D A
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
E
It's a long drive back home,
D A/C#
but I can make it on my own.
E
Not a mile on my car,
D A/C#
more powerful than my desires
E
Come down, come down, your balcony,
D A/C#
is way too high for me to see.
E
Hope you have fun up there,
D A/C# D E
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
A/C# D E (x2)
