Chorus: F5 C5 I'm a mile away from where I belong, D5 Bb5 I'm a mile away from home. F5 C5 I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone D5 Bb5 And I'm a mile away from home. Verse 1: F5 C5 On top of the world he thought, let down when he hit the spot. D5 Bb5 Dead stare in the mirror as he drove. F5 C5 D5 Had room for growing up, he got cold feet so he had to run Bb5 To a city with a history of love. F5 C5 D5 Knowing she relies on me but I'm on Bb5 My way to an unpredicted fall. F5 C5 Feet under the covers now, lips sealed tight till I hear a sound. D5 Bb5 The sound of a soon redeeming call. [Chorus] Verse 2: F5 C5 Now I know I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm hiding in the Hollywood hills. D5 I've learned regret from a cowards mouth Bb5 Wouldn't let her know how I feel. F5 C5 Held up and I'm stuck in line, can barely get around on the 405. D5 Bb5 Headed downtown in a half-full automobile. F5 C5 D5 Bb5 Now but deep inside I see the light, I'm a runaway victim left alone. F5 C5 At night though you lay so far, we both stare out at the same old stars D5 Bb5 Wishing for direction where to go. [Chorus] C5 Bb5 F5 C5 Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end. Bb5 F5 I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I learned but I lost you again. D5 F5 Bb5 And all at once, if the world stops spinning maybe you could let me win. C5 Bb5 F5 Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end. (Instrumental: D5 F5 C5 ) x2 [Chorus]
