Intro
[C] [E]
Chorus
[C]
When I'm away from you
[E]
I'm happier than ever
[Am]
Wish I could explain it better
[F] [G]
I wish it wasn't true-ue-ue---ue
[C]
Give me a day or two
[E]
To think of something clever
[Am]
To write myself a letter
[F] [G] [C]
To tell me what to do-o-o---o-o-o---o
Verse 1
[C]
Do you read my interviews
[E]
Or do you skip my avenue?
[Am]
When you said you were passing through
[Fm] [G]
Was I even on your way?
[C]
I knew when I asked you to
[E]
Be cool about what I was telling you
[Am]
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do
[Fm] [G]
And I'd end up more afraid
[E]
Don't say it isn't fair
[E7]
You clearly weren't aware that you
[Am] [F] [Fm]
Made me miserable, uhhh
[F] [G]
So if you really wanna know
Chorus
[C]
When I'm away from you
[E]
I'm happier than ever
[Am]
Wish I could explain it better
[F] [G] [C]
I wish it wasn't true-ue-ue---ue-ue-ue---ue

Verse 2
[C] [E]
You call me again
[Am]
Drunk in your Benz
[F]
Driving home under the influence
[C] [E]
You scared me to death
[Am]
But I'm wasting my breath
[F]
Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
Verse 3
[C] [E]
I don't relate to you
[Am] [F]
I don't relate to you, no
[C] [E]
Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
[Am] [F]
You made me hate this city
[C5] [E5]
And I don't talk shit 'bout you on the internet
[A5] [F5]
Never told anyone anything bad
[C5]
Cause that shit's embarrassing
[E5]
You were my everything
[A5] [F5]
And all that you did was made me fucking sad
Verse 4
[C5] [E5]
So don't waste the time I don't have
[A5] [F5]
And don't try to make me feel bad
N.C.
I could talk about
[C5] [E5]
Every time that you showed up on time
[A5]
But I'd have an empty line
[F5]
Cause you never did
[C5]
Never paid any mind
[E5]
To my mother or friends
[A5]
So I shut them all out for you
[F5]
Cause I was a kid
Outro
[C] [E]
You ruined everything good
[Am] [Fm]
Always said you were misunderstood
[C] [E]
Made all my moments your own
[Am] [F]
Just fucking leave me alone
