When I’m aw
Cadd9
ay from you
I’m happier than
E7
ever,
wish I could explain it
Am
better,
I wish it wasn’t
Dm7
true.
G
Give me a
Cadd9
day or two
to think of something
E7
clever,
to write myself a
Am
letter,
to tell me what to
Dm7
do…
G
mm
mm.
C
Do you… read my interviews?
Or
E7
do… you skip my avenue?
When
Am
you… said you were passin’ through –
was I
Dm7(b5)
even on your way?
I
C
knew… when I asked you to
be
E7
cool… about what I was telling you,
You’d
Am
do the opposite of what you said you’d do
and I’d
Dm7(b5)
end up more afraid…
Don’t say it
E7
isn’t fair –
you clearly weren’t aware that you
Am
made me
Am/G
misera
D/F#
ble.
So if you
Dm7
really wanna
G7
know…
When I’m aw
Cadd9
ay from you
I’m happier than
E7
ever,
wish I could explain it
Am
better,
I wish it wasn’t
Dm7
true…
G
mm mm.

C
You call me a
E7
gain,
stuck in your
Am
head,
actin’ like
F
you’re a good in
Fm
fluence.
C
Made me second-
E7
guess
but I’m wasting my
Am
breath
cuz you only
F
listen to your
Fm
so-called
friends.
C
I don’t relate to you…
E7
Am
I don’t relate to you, n
F
o.
Cuz I’d never
C
make me feel guil
E7
ty
–
you made me
Am
blame this city.
F
And I don’t gos
C
sip about you on the
E7
internet,
never told
Am
anyone anything
F
bad.
Cuz that’s just em
C
barrassing,
you were my
E7
everything
and all that you
Am
did was make me deeply
F
sad.
So
C
don’t waste the time I don’t
E7
have
and
Am
don’t try to make me feel
F
bad – I could talk about
C
every time that you showed
E7
up on time
but I’d have an
Am
empty line cuz you never
F
did.
Never paid any
C
mind to my mother or
E7
friends
so I shut ’em all
Am
out for you cuz I was a
F
kid.
C
You ruined everything
E7
good,
always
Am
said you were misunders
F
tood,
C
made all my moments your
E7
own,
Am
just go and leave me al
F
one…
woah, yeh.
