C                              F    Am                   F
This life I choose takes me so far away from you so far away from you
     C                                           F                    Am                      F
It's bittersweet when I look at the screen of my phone the picture of me and you I miss every piece of you

[Verse 2]

The way you fall asleep on the couch at night laying in my arms always slows down time
         C                             F               Am               F
When you drop me off, wish I'd miss my flight 'cause I hate goodbyes, I hate goodbyes

It's been five long nights not by your side, and I miss your touch
   Am                                  F
At 4 AM I call your phone and wake you up to tell you
C                                                     F
Three more days 'til the two of us can finally be one
          Am                             F
I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love
            C                                                    F
I'll say it five more times, no, I won't lie, I miss you so much
     Am                                           F
Only four more nights 'til I get home, been long enough and now there's
C                                                     F

I've been counting down the hours 'til I see you, my love

It feels like years since the very last time I held you and I saw you last, I saw you last
    C                                      F            Am                   F
The distance between us has messed with my heart and it fucked with my head, with my head

[Verse 4]
            C                       F             Am                   F
The way you sing along to your 90's tunes when we get so high laughing at cartoons
          C                                F                 Am                          F
Drive the coast up north just to chase the view wish I could stay with you, wish I could stay with you
