Cadd9 G D G

[Verse 1]
     Cadd9         G                          D G
The streets of my home town, ain't my home now
     Cadd9         G              D             G
I’m one last cigarette teenager, wasted on the town
     Cadd9               G              D           G      Cadd9 G
My friends all took to fentanyl, or fatherhood  or felony
                    D
That could've been me

      Cadd9             G                      D G
The streets of my home town, sleep well at night
      Cadd9         G                   D             G
I'm pacing up and down those same old faded traffic lines
     Cadd9              G                      D             G
My parents’ home stays dark past 12, and the public parks outside
      Cadd9            G                      D
And I ain't been back since my dog Jasper died


[Chorus]
              Cadd9    G
Tell me how we got so distant
              D                         G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
         Cadd9                        G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
                  D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
                 Cadd9          G
And know that I regret this distance
            D                          G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
                        Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
              G
And it's always close
                    D
But the further I go
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home


[Verse 2]
      Cadd9                   G                    D G
These high school halls where I come from seem small
      Cadd9                 G     D                  G
I'm drinking in the parking lot behind the shopping mall
      Cadd9          G                 D          G
My friends they took to fentanyl, or having kids before 18
    Cadd9          G                    D
And now it's been too long for me to call


[Chorus]
              Cadd9    G
Tell me how we got so distant
              D                         G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
         Cadd9                        G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
                  D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
                 Cadd9          G
And know that I regret this distance
            D                          G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
                        Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
              G
And it's always close
                    D
But the further I go
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home


[Bridge]
      Cadd9            G                      D
The streets of my home town, ain't my home now
    Cadd9          G               D
I’m one last cigarette teenager, wasted on the town


[Chorus]
              Cadd9    G
Tell me how we got so distant
              D                         G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
         Cadd9                        G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
                  D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
                 Cadd9          G
And know that I regret this distance
            D                          G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
                        Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
              G
And it's always close
                    D
But the further I go
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
                                          Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
                                          Cadd9
The harder it hits me when I come back home
