[Intro]
C   E

[Chorus]
           C
When I'm away from you
                 E
I'm happier than ever
                        Am
Wish I could explain it better
                 F            G
I wish it wasn't true-ue-ue---ue
           C
Give me a day or two
                     E
To think of something clever
                  Am
To write myself a letter
                   F        G       C
To tell me what to do-o-o---o-o-o---o


[Verse 1]
   C
Do you read my interviews
   E
Or do you skip my avenue?
     Am
When you said you were passing through
      Fm            G
Was I even on your way?
  C
I knew 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
       Fm             G
And I'd end up more afraid

             E
Don't say it isn't fair
            E7
You clearly weren't aware that you
Am             F    Fm
Made me miserable, uhhh
   F                   G
So if you really wanna know


[Chorus]
          C
When I'm away from you
                 E
I'm happier than ever
                       Am
Wish I could explain it better
                 F            G          C
I wish it wasn't true-ue-ue---ue-ue-ue---ue

[Verse 2]
C               E
  You call me again
               Am
Drunk in your Benz
             F       
Driving home under the influence
C                   E
  You scared me to death
                   Am
But I'm wasting my breath
               F         
Cause you only listen to your fucking friends


[Verse 3]
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

                 C5                    E5
And I don't talk shit 'bout you on the internet
           A5              F5
Never told anyone anything bad
                    C5
Cause that shit's embarrassing
            E5
You were my everything
                 A5                      F5  
And all that you did was made me fucking sad


[Verse 4]
   C5                           E5
So don't waste the time I don't have
    A5                        F5
And don't try to make me feel bad
        N.C.
I could talk about
C5                         E5
Every time that you showed up on time
                A5
But I'd have an empty line
                 F5
Cause you never did
                C5
Never paid any mind
                E5
To my mother or friends
                   A5
So I shut them all out for you
              F5
Cause I was a kid


[Outro]
C                     E
You ruined everything good
       Am                   Fm
Always said you were misunderstood
C                        E
Made all my moments your own
Am                     F
Just fucking leave me alone
