[Intro]
B Bsus4 B F# E (repeat twice)
[Verse]
B Bsus4 B
I miss my friends, I miss my house
F# E
but it's way too late to turn back now.
B Bsus4 B
I left in hopes to leave my name in,
F# E
places where I've never been.
C#m E F#
And I'm trying so hard,
C#m E F# A
but you're denying my heart.
[Instrumental] (2x)
B Bsus4 B F# E
[Verse]
B Bsus4 B
Played a show in Michigan,
F# E
where my phone fell off and hit the rim,
B Bsus4 B
cracked my screen, the Apple Store,
F# E
told me "$120, wallet encore!"
B Bsus4 B
There was a motel down the street,
F# E
but I scrapped up enough just to eat,
B Bsus4 B
so I slept in my car,
F# E
wishing on a shooting star.
[Chorus]
B
It's a long drive back home,
A E/G#
but I can make it on my own.
B
Not a mile on my car,
A E/G#
more powerful than my desires
B
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A E/G#
is way too high for me to see.
B
Hope you have fun up there,
A E/G# A B
pretending anyone else cares.
E/G# A B (x2)
[Verse]
B Bsus4 B
And your boyfriend's got some nerve,
F# E
thinking my intention's on reverse.
B Bsus4 B
I've been known as a sweet-talker,
F# E
but never as a homewrecker.
B Bsus4 B
And sure, there once was a time,
F# E
we had Skype-sleepovers every night.
B Bsus4 B
But that's all over now,
F# E
I was a lucky 7, strike 8, she's out!
[Chorus]
B
It's a long drive back home,
A E/G#
but I can make it on my own.
B
Not a mile on my car,
A E/G#
more powerful than my desires
B
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A E/G#
is way too high for me to see.
B
Hope you have fun up there,
A E/G# A B
pretending anyone else cares.
[Chorus]
B
It's a long drive back home,
A E/G#
but I can make it on my own.
B
Not a mile on my car,
A E/G#
more powerful than my desires
B
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A E/G#
is way too high for me to see.
B
Hope you have fun up there,
A E/G# A B
pretending anyone else cares.
B F#
It's alright, we all changed,
A E
nothing can stay the same.
B F#
You left me, left me lost,
A E
I'm betrayed, and double crossed.
B F# A E
Every time I turn around, you're chasing life into the ground. You,
B F# A E
hide your soul, make it blind to all the elements outside. And,
B F# A E
instead of embracing your gifts, you make anti-intimate.
B F# A E
Smile and laugh with your friends, while deep inside you mourn again.
[Chorus]
B
It's a long drive back home,
A E/G#
but I can make it on my own.
B
Not a mile on my car,
A E/G#
more powerful than my desires
B
Come down, come down, your balcony,
A E/G#
is way too high for me to see.
B
Hope you have fun up there,
A E/G# A B
pretending anyone else cares.
[Outro]
E/G# A B (x2)
