🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC
 Do you read my interviews?
  E7E7
Or do you skip my avenue?
   A minorAm
When you said you were passin' through
   Dm7b5Dm7b5
Was I even on your way?
  C majorC
I knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to)
  E7E7
Be cool about what I was tellin' you
   A minorAm
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (What you said you'd do)
    Dm7b5Dm7b5
And I'd end up more afraid
        E7E7
Don't say it isn't fair
                  A minorAm         D MajorD
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable, ooh
      Dm7Dm7     G7G7
So if you really wanna know

🎸 Chorus:
     Cadd9Cadd9
When I'm away from you (When I'm away from you)

I'm happier than ever (I'm happier than ever)
             A minorAm
Wish I could explain it better (Wish I could explain it better)
         Dm7Dm7  G+G
I wish it wasn't true, mmm

🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC       E7E7          A minorAm
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
        FF     F minorFm
Drivin' home under the influence
C majorC         E7E7            A minorAm
You scared me to death but I'm wastin' my breath
         FF       F minorFm
'Cause you only listen to your fuckin' friends
C majorC          E7E7
I don't relate to you
A minorAm           FF
I don't relate to you, no
         C majorC        E7E7
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
      A minorAm      FF
You made me hate this city


🎸 Bridge:
         C majorC           E7E7

      A minorAm       FF
Never told anyone anything bad
           C majorC            E7E7
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
         A minorAm            FF
And all that you did was make me fuckin' sad
  C majorC               E7E7
So don't waste the time I don't have
  A minorAm             FF
And don't try to make me feel bad
          C majorC             E7E7
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
         A minorAm             FF
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
        C majorC           E7E7
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
       A minorAm             FF
Shut them all out for you 'cause I was a kid


🎸 Outro:
C majorC           E7E7
You ruined everything good
    A minorAm           FF
Always said you were misunderstood
C majorC            E7E7
Made all my moments your own
A minorAm           FF
Just fuckin' leave me alone
