[Chorus]
[N.C.]When I'm [Cadd9]away from you
I'm happier than [E7]ever
Wish I could explain it b[Am7]better
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, m[G]mmm
[Verse 1]
Give me a[Cadd9]a day or two
To think of something c[E7]clever
To write myself a[Am7]a letter
To tell me what to[Dm7]to do, [G] mm-mm
[Cadd9] Do you read my interviews?
Or [E7]do you skip my avenue?
When [Am7]you said you were passin' through
Was I [Dm7b5]even on your way?
I [Cadd9]knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to)
Be c[E7]cool about what I was tellin' you
You'd [Am7]do the opposite of what
you said you'd do (What you said you'd do)
And I'd[Dm7b5]I'd end up more afraid
Don't say it is[E7]isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware
that you [Am7]made me miserable, o[D]ooh
So if you r[Dm7]really wanna k[G]know
[Chorus]
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you (When I'm away from you)
I'm happier than e[E7]ever (I'm happier than ever)
Wish I could explain it b[Am7]better
(Wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, m[G]mmm

[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [Fm]
[Verse 2]
[C]You called me a[E7]again, drunk in your B[Am]Benz
Drivin' home un[F]under the inf[Fm]influence
[C]You scared me to d[E7]death but I'm wastin' my b[Am]breath
'Cause you only li[F]listen to your f[Fm]fuckin' friends
[C]I don't relate to you[E7]you
[Am]I don't relate to you, [F]no
'Cause I'd never t[C]treat me this shi[E7]shitty
You made me [Am]hate this city[F]city
[Bridge]
And I don't talk s[C]shit about you on the in[E7]internet
Never told a[Am]anyone anything b[F]bad
'Cause that shit's em[C]embarrassing, you were my e[E7]everything
And all that you [Am]did was make me fuckin' s[F]sad
So [C]don't waste the time I don't h[E7]have
And [Am]don't try to make me feel b[F]bad
I could talk about e[C]every time that you showed [E7]up on time
But I'd have an e[Am]empty line 'cause you never d[F]did
Never paid any [C]mind to my mother or f[E7]friends, so I
Shut them all [Am]out for you 'cause I was a k[F]kid
[Outro]
[C]You ruined everything g[E7]good
Always s[Am]said you were misunderst[F]misunderstood
[C]Made all my moments your [E7]own
[Am]Just fuckin' leave me a[F]alone
[C] [E7] [Am] [F] [X3]
