Chorus:
I'm a [F]mile away from where [C]I belong,
I'm a [Dm]mile away from ho[Bb]me.
I'm [F]lying awake at the [C]thought of you gone
And I'm a [Dm]mile away from ho[Bb]me.
Verse 1:
[F]On top of the world he thought, [C]let down when he hit the spot.
[Dm]Dead stare in the mirror as he [Bb]drove.
[F]Had room for growing up, he [C]got cold feet so he had to run[Dm]
To a city with a history of [Bb]love.
Knowing [F]she relies on [C]me but I'm on[Dm]
My way to an unpredicted [Bb]fall.
[F]Feet under the covers now, [C]lips sealed tight till I hear a sound.
[Dm]The sound of a soon redeeming [Bb]call.
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Now I [F]know I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm [C]hiding in the Hollywood hills.
I've [Dm]learned regret from a cowards mouth
Wouldn't [Bb]let her know how I feel.
Held [F]up and I'm stuck in line, can [C]barely get around on the 405.
[Dm]Headed downtown in a half-full automo[Bb]bile.
Now but [F]deep inside I [C]see the light, I'm[Dm] a runaway victim left [Bb]alone.
[F]At night though you lay so far, we [C]both stare out at the same old stars
[Dm]Wishing for direction where to [Bb]go.
(Chorus)
[C]Oh, but I could never forget the guilty [Bb]look in your eyes at the [F]end.[C]
I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I [Bb]learned but I lost you a[F]gain.
[Dm]And all at once, if the [F]world stops spinning maybe [Bb]you could let me win.
[C]Oh, but I could never forget the guilty [Bb]look in your eyes at the [F]end.
(Instrumental: Dm F C) x2
(Chorus)
I'm a [F]mile away from where [C]I belong,
