[Intro]
 C     F    Am
 F    C    F   Am

[Verse 1]
F                   C
 Look at me, I feel homesick
F                   Am
 Want my dog in the door
F                     C
 And the light in the kitchen
F                       Am
 From the fridge on the floor
F                  C
 And the faint overhearing
F                 Am
 Of my mom on the phone
F                        C
 Through the walls of my bedroom
F                        Am
 Things that I shouldn't know
F                       C
 Think the bus might be broken
F                       Am
’Cause the sharks never work
F                   C
 We're collectively hopin'
Gadd11                  Am
 That the drive will be short
F          C
 People 24/7
Gadd11               Am
 It’s the best and a curse
F                 C
 All they do is remind me
Gadd11               Am    F
 That I'm still introvert

[Chorus]
C       Gadd11               Am
 I'm so high, but can't look down
        F                C
Left my past life on the ground
          Gadd11         Am
Think I'm morе alive somehow
       F
I feel like mysеlf
       C    F    Am
right now

[Verse 2]
F                    C
 Pretty far from the ocean
F                         Am
 Never thought that would hurt
F                   C
 Every lake here is frozen
F                   Am
 Which is makin' it worse
F                     C
 It's just somebody's hometown
Gadd11             Am
 Never been here before
F                        C
 I’m writin’ down every street sign
Gadd11                    Am
 Messed the spellin', I’m sure
F              C
 And I ended a friendship
Gadd11             Am
 On the day that I left
F                    C
 And though I really meant it
Gadd11               Am
 It still makes me upset
F                  C
 And I'm losin' my family
Gadd11           Am
 Every minute on guard
F                      C
 And what if my little brother
Gadd11             Am
 Thinks my leavin' was wrong?
F
 Oh, oh

I'm so tired, but can't sit down
