A                          C#m          B Bm    A
Some days I wake up and there's magic
            C#m              B                         A
Some days I wake up and it's tragic, or so it seems to me
            C#m                B    E
Why don't I meet you somewhere static?
              A      C#m                   B  E
You'd be in disbelief, but she wouldn't be me


[Verse]
A            C#m                  B     E
Why does it feel like it's always Sunday?
A             C#m                     B   E
Never thought I'd have a problem with that
A              C#m                   B
Why do I waste half of the day in my head
        E      A       C#m                  B
Buckled by the fear of something only I can feel


[Chorus]
A             C#m
I've been away

I've been away
      B                     E
Oh as long as you've been away
          A
I've been away

I've been away
              C#m
I've been away
        B                     E
Just as sure as you've been away
          A
I've been away


[Verse]
         C#m            B     E
Why do I cower when the phone rings?
A        C#m                 B    E
Then I'm lonesome and with regret
A        C#m               B         E
Why do I waste half of the day in my head?


[Chorus]
A             C#m
I've been away

I've been away
      B                     E
Oh as long as you've been away
          A
I've been away

I've been away
              C#m
I've been away
        B                     E
Just as sure as you've been away
          A
I've been away


A             C#m
I've been away

I've been away
      B                     E
Oh as long as you've been away
          A
I've been away

I've been away
              C#m
I've been away
        B                     E
Just as sure as you've been away
          A
I've been away
