[Verse 1]
Abm Ebm
-- Somehow I couldn't say to you, the things to make it right
Db Eb Ebm
The words just came out wrong and then we'd end up in a fight
B
'Cause I guess I fucked up, messed this luck up
Bbm
And I blame myself
Ebm
But man, I gotta let it go
Eb
Take a shot and let it roll
B
Then I can almost clear my head
Ebm
'Til I'm alone laying in bed
Thinking:
Eb
Get the hell away from me
F
Get the hell away from me
Gb
Get the hell away from me
Abm Bm
Get the hell away

[Verse 2]
Abm Ebm
-- Between the cocaine and the lies
The truth and alibis
Db Eb Ebm
Excuses don't mean anything when tears run down our eyes
B
All I do is remember, last September
Bbm
Sitting in your car
Ebm
And hearing "Man, I gotta goo-o-o"
Db Ebm
And I wish it wasn't soo-o-o
B
But we were circling the drain
Ebm
But we were circling the drain
Just can't change
Eb
Get the hell away from me
F
Get the hell away from me
Gb
Get the hell away from me
Abm Bm
Get the hell away.
