G5 D5 E5 C5 D5
[Verse 1]
G5 D#5 E5
Here's to my absent friends
F5 G5
When will you be back again
D#5 E5
Is it sad I think someone
F5 G5
Stayed in the town where you grew up
D#5 E5
Technically I'm a mile away
F5 G5
Close enough to see the face
D#5 E5
Of every girl from my high school class
C5
From New York on dating apps
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B5 C5
Still, I'm glad I stayed
E5 D5 B5
Close enough to see my mom and dad watch the baseball game
C5
Nothing changed
E5 C#5 C5
Guess that when you stay you also stay the same
[Chorus 1]
G5
I've been so busy screaming into the void
C5
Never noticed I was making a choice
C#5 C5
To be just one more lonely, sad boy missing the point
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5
[Verse 2]
G5 D#5 N.C. E5
Cue the lights, fade to black
F5 G5
Maybe this time no laugh track
D#5 E5
'Cause I'm done there and I've been bad
C5
I should be happy where I'm at
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B5 C5
All I want
E5 D5 B5
Is someone who will wait around while I am gone
C5
Is it wrong
E5 C#5 C5
To have a fear of missing out on moving on
[Chorus 2]
G5
I've been so busy screaming into the void
C5
When really I was making a choice
C#5 C5
To be just one more lonely, sad boy missing the point
G5
Wishing was easier done than said
C5
Honestly don't know what it is I expect
C#5
'Cause I never heard the void once scream back
C5
I guess that silence meant I should get over it
[Outro]
G5 D5 E5 C5
G5 D5 E5 C5
Get over it
E5 D5 E5 C5
Get over it
G5 D5 E5 C5
Get over it
