C
When I'm away from you

I'm happier than ever

Wish I could explain it better

I wish it wasn't true, mmm
Verse 1:
C
Give me a day or two
B7
To think of something clever
Am
To write myself a letter
DG
To tell me what to do, mm-mm
C
Do you read my interviews?
B7
Or do you skip my avenue?
Am
When you said you were passin' through
Fm
Was I even on your way?
C
I knew when I asked you to -When I asked you to-
B7
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-
Fm
And I'd end up more afraid
B7
Don't say it isn't fair
AmGD
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable, ooh
DmG
So if you really wanna know

C
When I'm away from you -When I'm away from you-

Wish I could explain it better -Wish I could explain it better-

I wish it wasn't true, mmm

You called me again, drunk in your Benz

Drivin' home under the influence
