Intro:
[G] [G7]
Chorus:
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you
I'm happier than [E7]ever
Wish I could explain it be[Am7]tter
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, m[G]mm
Verse 1:
Give me a [Cadd9]day or two
To think of something c[E7]lever
To write myself a [Am7]letter
To tell me what to[Dm7] 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]ool 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]end up more afraid
Don't say it is[E7]n't fair
You clearly weren't aware that you [Am7]made me miserable, [D]ooh
So if you r[Dm7]eally wanna k[G]now
Chorus:
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you (When I'm away from you)
I'm happier than e[E7]ver (I'm happier than ever)
Wish I could explain it b[Am7]etter
(Wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, [G]mmm

Verse 2:
[C]You called me a[E7]gain, drunk in your [Am]Benz
Drivin' home un[F]der the [Fm]influence
[C]You scared me to d[E7]eath but I'm wastin' my b[Am]reath
'Cause you only li[F]sten to your f[Fm]uckin' friends
[C]I don't relate to [E7]you
[Am]I don't relate to y[F]ou, no
'Cause I'd never t[C]reat me this shit[E7]ty
You made me [Am]hate this c[F]ity
Bridge:
And I don't talk s[C]hit about you on the in[E7]ternet
Never told a[Am]nyone anything b[F]ad
'Cause that shit's em[C]barrassing, you were my e[E7]verything
And all that you [Am]did was make me fuckin' s[F]ad
So [C]don't waste the time I don't h[E7]ave
And [Am]don't try to make me feel b[F]ad
I could talk about e[C]very time that you showed [E7]up on time
But I'd have an e[Am]mpty line 'cause you never d[F]id
Never paid any [C]mind to my mother or f[E7]riends, so I
Shut them all [Am]out for you 'cause I was a k[F]id
Outro:
[C]You ruined everything g[E7]ood
Always s[Am]aid you were misunderst[F]ood
[C]Made all my moments your [E7]own
[Am]Just fuckin' leave me a[F]lone
