Chorus:
I'm a Fmile away from where CI belong, 
I'm a Dmmile away from hoBbme.
I'm Flying awake at the Cthought of you gone
And I'm a Dmmile away from hoBbme.
Verse 1:
FOn top of the world he thought, Clet down when he hit the spot.
DmDead stare in the mirror as he Bbdrove.
FHad room for growing up, he Cgot cold feet so he had to runDm  
To a city with a history of Bblove.
Knowing Fshe relies on Cme but I'm onDm  
My way to an unpredicted Bbfall.
FFeet under the covers now, Clips sealed tight till I hear a sound.
DmThe sound of a soon redeeming Bbcall.
[Chorus]
Verse 2:
Now I Fknow I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm Chiding in the Hollywood hills.
I've Dmlearned regret from a cowards mouth
Wouldn't Bblet her know how I feel. 
Held Fup and I'm stuck in line, can Cbarely get around on the 405.
DmHeaded downtown in a half-full automoBbbile.
Now but Fdeep inside I Csee the light, I'm Dma runaway victim left Bbalone.
FAt night though you lay so far, we Cboth stare out at the same old stars
DmWishing for direction where to Bbgo.
[Chorus]
COh, but I could never forget the guilty Bblook in your eyes at the Fend.C  
I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I Bblearned but I lost you aFgain.
DmAnd all at once, if the Fworld stops spinning maybe Bbyou could let me win.
COh, but I could never forget the guilty Bblook in your eyes at the Fend.
