tone [C]
Chorus
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you
I'm happier than [E7]ever
Wish I could explain it [Am7]better
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, [G]mmm
Verse 1
Give me a [Cadd9]day or two
To think of something [E7]clever
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?
[Cadd9] I knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to)
Be [E7]cool 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 [E7]isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware that you [Am7]made me miserable, [D]ooh
So if you [Dm7]really wanna [G]know
Chorus
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you (When I'm away from you)
I'm happier than [E7]ever (I'm happier than ever)
Wish I could explain it [Am7]better
(Wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, [G]mmm

Verse 2
[C]You called me [E7]again, drunk in your [Am]Benz
Drivin' home [F]under the [Fm]influence
[C]You scared me to [E7]death but I'm wastin' my [Am]breath
'Cause you only [F]listen to your [Fm]fuckin' friends
[C]I don't relate to [E7]you
[Am]I don't relate to you, [F]no
'Cause I'd never [C]treat me this [E7]shitty
You made me [Am]hate this [F]city
Bridge
And I don't talk [C]shit about you on the [E7]internet
Never told [Am]anyone anything [F]bad
'Cause that shit's [C]embarrassing, you were my [E7]everything
And all that you [Am]did was make me fuckin' [F]sad
So [C]don't waste the time I don't [E7]have
And [Am]don't try to make me feel [F]bad
I could talk about [C]every time that you showed [E7]up on time
But I'd have an [Am]empty line 'cause you never [F]did
Never paid any [C]mind to my mother or [E7]friends, so I
Shut them all [Am]out for you 'cause I was a [F]kid
Outro
[C]You ruined everything [E7]good
Always [Am]said you were [F]misunderstood
[C]Made all my moments your [E7]own
[Am]Just fuckin' leave me [F]alone
When I'm [Cadd9]away from you
I'm happier than [E7]ever
Wish I could explain it [Am7]better
I wish it wasn't [Dm7]true, [G]mmm
