Intro
D# D#sus4 D# A# G# (repeat twice)
[Verse]
D# D#sus4 D#
I miss my friends, I miss my house
A# G#
but it's way too late to turn back now.
D# D#sus4 D#
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
A# G#
places where I've never been.
Fm G# A#
And I'm trying so hard,
Fm G# A# C#
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)

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