Intro: G

Chorus:
             C
    When Iʼm away from you
                     E7
    Iʼm happier than ever
                            Am
    Wish I could explain it better
                     Dm    G
    I wish it wasnʼt true, mmm

          C
Give me a day or two
                      E7
To think of something clever
                  Am
To write myself a letter
                   Dm   G
To tell me what to do,  mm-mm
 
C
Do you read my interviews?
   E7
Or do you skip my avenue?
     Am
When you said you were passinʼ through
      Dm
Was I even on your way?
 
  C
I knew when I asked you to
   E7
Be cool about what I was tellinʼ you
      Am
Youʼd do the opposite of what you said youʼd do
        Dm
And Iʼd end up more afraid
 
             E7
Donʼt say it isnʼt fair
                                   Am                 Dm
You clearly werenʼt aware that you made me miserable, ooh
                       G
So if you really wanna know

Chorus:
             C
    When Iʼm away from you
                     E7
    Iʼm happier than ever
                            Am
    Wish I could explain it better
                     Dm    G
    I wish it wasnʼt true, mmm

Instrumental: C E7 Am F

C             E7                   Am
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
             F
Drivinʼ home under the influence
C                E7                       Am
You scared me to death but Iʼm wastinʼ my breath
                F
ʼCause you only listen to your fuckinʼ friends
 
C                    E7
I donʼt relate to you
Am                     F
I donʼt relate to you, no
                 C                  E7
ʼCause Iʼd never treat me this shitty
            Am           F
You made me hate this city
 
                 C                     E7
And I donʼt talk shit about you on the internet
           Am              F
Never told anyone anything bad
                   C                         E7
ʼCause that shitʼs embarrassing, you were my everything
                 Am                      F
And all that you did was make me fuckinʼ sad
 
   C                            E7
So donʼt waste the time I donʼt have
    Am                        F
And donʼt try to make me feel bad
                   C                          E7
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
                Am                          F
But Iʼd have an empty line ʼcause you never did
 
               C                    E7
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
              Am                         F
Shut them all out for you ʼcause I was a kid

Outro:
    C                     E7
    You ruined everything good
           Am                    F
    Always said you were misunderstood
    C                        E7
    Made all my moments your own
    Am                    F
    Just fuckinʼ leave me alone
