Intro:GChorus: C
When Iʼm away from you
E7
Iʼm happier than ever
Am
Wish I could explain it better
Dm G
I wish it wasnʼt true, mmm
C
Give me a day or two
E7
To think of something clever
Am
To write myself a letter
Dm G
To tell me what to do, mm-mm
C
Do you read my interviews?
E7
Or do you skip my avenue?
Am
When you said you were passinʼ through
Dm
Was I even on your way?
C
I knew when I asked you to
E7
Be cool about what I was tellinʼ you
Am
Youʼd do the opposite of what you said youʼd do
Dm
And Iʼd end up more afraid
E7
Donʼt say it isnʼt fair
Am Dm
You clearly werenʼt aware that you made me miserable, ooh
G
So if you really wanna know
Chorus: C
When Iʼm away from you
E7
Iʼm happier than ever
Am
Wish I could explain it better
Dm G
I wish it wasnʼt true, mmm
Instrumental:C E7 Am FC E7 Am
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
F
Drivinʼ home under the influence
C E7 Am
You scared me to death but Iʼm wastinʼ my breath
F
ʼCause you only listen to your fuckinʼ friends
C E7
I donʼt relate to you
Am F
I donʼt relate to you, no
C E7
ʼCause Iʼd never treat me this shitty
Am F
You made me hate this city
C E7
And I donʼt talk shit about you on the internet
Am F
Never told anyone anything bad
C E7
ʼCause that shitʼs embarrassing, you were my everything
Am F
And all that you did was make me fuckinʼ sad
C E7
So donʼt waste the time I donʼt have
Am F
And donʼt try to make me feel bad
C E7
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
Am F
But Iʼd have an empty line ʼcause you never did
C E7
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
Am F
Shut them all out for you ʼcause 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 fuckinʼ leave me alone
