Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
Verse 1:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
The streets of my home town, ain't my home now
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
I’m one last cigarette teenager, wasted on the town
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
My friends all took to fentanyl, or fatherhood or felony
D MajorD
That could've been me
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
The streets of my home town, sleep well at night
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
I'm pacing up and down those same old faded traffic lines
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
My parents’ home stays dark past 12, and the public parks outside
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
And I ain't been back since my dog Jasper died
Chorus:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Tell me how we got so distant
D MajorD G+G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
D MajorD
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And know that I regret this distance
D MajorD G+G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
Cadd9Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
G+G
And it's always close
D MajorD
But the further I go
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Verse 2:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
These high school halls where I come from seem small
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
I'm drinking in the parking lot behind the shopping mall
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD G+G
My friends they took to fentanyl, or having kids before 18
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
And now it's been too long for me to call
Chorus:
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Tell me how we got so distant
D MajorD G+G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G

It took all I had just to pick up and leave

And it's always close

The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD
The harder it hits me when I come back home
