Chorus: F C I'm a mile away from where I belong, Dm Bb I'm a mile away from home. F C I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone Dm Bb And I'm a mile away from home. Verse 1: F C On top of the world he thought, let down when he hit the spot. Dm Bb Dead stare in the mirror as he drove. F C Dm Had room for growing up, he got cold feet so he had to run Bb To a city with a history of love. F C Dm Knowing she relies on me but I'm on Bb My way to an unpredicted fall. F C Feet under the covers now, lips sealed tight till I hear a sound. Dm Bb The sound of a soon redeeming call. [Chorus] Verse 2: F C Now I know I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm hiding in the Hollywood hills. Dm I've learned regret from a cowards mouth Bb Wouldn't let her know how I feel. F C Held up and I'm stuck in line, can barely get around on the 405. Dm Bb Headed downtown in a half-full automobile. F C Dm Bb Now but deep inside I see the light, I'm a runaway victim left alone. F C At night though you lay so far, we both stare out at the same old stars Dm Bb Wishing for direction where to go. [Chorus] C Bb F C Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end. Bb F I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I learned but I lost you again. Dm F Bb And all at once, if the world stops spinning maybe you could let me win. C Bb F Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end. (Instrumental: Dm F C) x2 [Chorus]
