Intro: G
C E
When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever
Am
Wish I could explain it better
Dm
I wish it wasn't true
C E
Give me a day or two to think of something clever
Am
To write myself a letter
Dm G
To tell me what to do, mm-mmm
C
Do you read my interviews?
E
Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue)
Am
When you (when you) said you were passing through
Dm
Was I even on your way?
C
I knew when I asked you to (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 (what you said you'd do)
Dm
And I'd end up more afraid
E
Don't say it isn't fair
Am
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable
G
So if you really wanna know
Chorus:
C
When I'm away from you (when I'm away from you)
E
I'm happier than ever (happier than ever)
Am
Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)
Dm G
I wish it wasn't true (wish it wasn't true), mmm-mmm
Inst: C E Am F
C E Am
You call me again, drunk in your Benz
F
Driving home under the influence
C E Am
You scared me to death, but I'm wasting my breath
F
'Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
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
C E
And I don't talk shit about you on the internet
Am F
Never told anyone anything bad
C E
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
Am F
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
C E
So don't waste the time I don't have
Am F
And don't try to make me feel bad
C E
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 E
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
Am F
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
C E
You ruined everything good
Am F
Always said you were misunderstood
C E
Made all my moments your own
Am F
Just fucking leave me alone
C E Am F (4x)
