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
