Chorus
N.C. [Cadd9]
When I'm away from you
[E7]
I'm happier than ever
[Am]
Wish I could explain it better
[Dm7] [G]
I wish it wasn't true, mmm
[Cadd9]
Give me a day or two
[E7]
To think of something clever
[Am]
To write myself a letter
[Dm7] [G]
To tell me what to do, mm-mm
Verse 1
[C]
Do you read my interviews?
[E7]
Or do you skip my avenue?
[Am]
When you said you were passin' through
[Dm7b5]
Was I even on your way?
[C]
I knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to)
[E7]
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
[Am]
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (What you said you'd do)
[Dm7b5]
And I'd end up more afraid
[E7]
Don't say it isn't fair
[Am] [Am/G] [D/F#]
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable, ooh
[Dm7] [G7]
So if you really wanna know
Chorus
[Cadd9]
When I'm away from you (When I'm away from you)
[E7]
I'm happier than ever (I'm happier than ever)
[Am]
Wish I could explain it better (Wish I could explain it better)
[Dm7] [G] [C]
I wish it wasn't true, mmm
[Instrumental Break]
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [Fm]
Verse 2
[C] [E7] [Am]
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
[F] [Fm]
Drivin' home under the influence
[C] [E7] [Am]
You scared me to death but I'm wastin' my breath
[F] [Fm]
'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends
[C] [E7]
I don't relate to you
[Am] [F]
I don't relate to you, no
[C] [E7]
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
[Am] [F]
You made me hate this city
Bridge
[C] [E7]
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
[Am] [F]
Never told anyone anything bad
[C] [E7]
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
[Am] [F]
And all that you did was make me fuckin' sad
[C] [E7]
So don't waste the time I don't have
[Am] [F]
And don't try to make me feel bad
[C] [E7]
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
[Am] [F]
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
[C] [E7]
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
[Am] [F]
Shut them all out for you 'cause I was a kid
Outro
[C] [E7]
You ruined everything good
[Am] [F]
Always said you were misunderstood
[C] [E7]
Made all my moments your own
[Am] [F]
Just fuckin' leave me alone
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] X3
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [Fm] [C] X1
