[Intro]
F5 Csus C5
F5 Csus C5
[Verse 1]
F5 Csus C5
I don’t wanna leave this city
F5 Csus C5
Go back to the place I called home
F5 Csus C5
Back there it gets messy
F5 Csus C5
My shoes don’t fit anymore
F5 Csus C5
I can’t handle the tight squeeze
F5 Csus C5
They don’t go with my outfit
F5 Csus C5
I don’t think I’m superior at all
F5 Csus C5
Just think that I’ve grown out of it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C/B
But this boy back at home
Am7 C/B
He sent a text on a Saturday night
Am7 C/B
He won’t lay to rest what we had in July
Am7 C/B
I should want him dead, but I stayed by his side
Am7 F5 Csus C5
Like all of my friends
F5 Csus C5
[Chorus 1]
F5 Csus C5
Oh I hate to see this fake empathy
F5 Csus C5
Don’t apologize and throw it back at me
F5 Csus C5
You and I both know if it were anyone else
F5 Csus C5
I’d send him to hell in a minute
F5 Csus C5
But nobody wanted to listen
C/B Am7
So here I am finally miles away
F5 Csus C5
From a life I used to know
C/B Am7
Wish that I didn’t have tears down my face
F5 C5* F5 Csus C5
Crying ‘bout a boy from home
F5 Csus C5
[Verse 2]
F5 Csus C5
I don’t wanna leave this city
F5 Csus C5
End up in that basement again
F5 Csus C5
He always threw the worst parties
F5 Csus C5
The girls deemed as the audience
F5 Csus C5
God forbid he let me in on the fun
F5 Csus C5
Instead I’m outside every joke
F5 Csus C5
I’m afraid I’ve become the punchline
F5 Csus C5
"The girl that can’t let it go"
[Chorus]
F5 Csus C5
Oh I hate to see this fake empathy
F5 Csus C5
Don’t apologize and throw it back at me
F5 Csus C5
You and I both know if it were anyone else
F5 Csus C5
I’d send him to hell in a minute
F5 Csus C5
But nobody wanted to listen
C/B Am7
So here I am finally miles away
F5 Csus C5
From a life I used to know
C/B Am7
Wish that I didn’t have tears down my face
F5 C5* F5 Csus C5
Crying ‘bout a boy from home
F5 Csus C5
[Bridge]
F5 Csus C5
No thanks, I’ll stay here in New York with my
F5 Csus C5
New friends, apartment, you don’t cross my mind
F5 Csus C5 F5
These streets, hold me tighter than you ever did
Csus C5
I have to admit
[Outro]
F5 Csus C5
That I don’t wanna leave this city
F5 Csus C5
I don’t see your face in these crowds
F5 Csus C5
When I recognized your cologne on the subway, I
F5 Csus C5
Took the next station out
F5 Csus C5
F5 Csus C5
