Verse 1:
There's an [Am]empty place in[G]side that is hurting[C] me

That keeps me [G]so hard pressed[Cadd9][G]
Verse 2:
It's a [Am]place where words are [G]spoken you will [C]never hear
A [Am]broken bridge of lines that just won't [Fmaj7]come
An [Fmaj7]empty lung that won't give the wind to [Am]speak at me
G Fmaj7 [riff]
How far can it be from home
Chorus 1:
[C] Why you gotta be so [Am]mean to me[Fmaj7]
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
[C] You know I don't listen good and I'm [Am]always in need[Fmaj7]
[C] Why you gotta be so [Am]mean to me[G]
Verse 3:
Do you [Am]think that it got [G]up and left for [C]good this time
A [Am]crowd of faceless strangers moving [Fmaj7]on
A [Fmaj7]feeling that you left it all be[Am]hind you now
G Fmaj7 [riff]
That it doesn't hurt somehow to know
Chorus 2:
[C] Why you gotta be so [Am]mean to me[Fmaj7]

Verse 4:
So [Am]open up the [G]book that you keep [C]deep inside
[Am]Let the pages yellow in the [Fmaj7]sun

G Fmaj7 [riff]
How far you can be from home
Chorus:
[C] Why you gotta be so [Am]mean to me[Fmaj7]
