WHEN YOU'RE AROUND
As recorded by Southall
(2023 release)
[Intro]
Em C G Em C D
Em C G Em C G
[Verse 1]
G
Somewhere out there right outside of someplace
G
A thousand miles away from where you are
Am Em
Trying to carve a dream out of the highway
G
Wondering how it ever got this far
G
You're finally getting used to feeling lonely
C G
And I'm getting used up awful fast
Am Em
Trying to prove myself to perfect strangers
Am D
The kind of high that never seems to last
[Chorus]
C G Bm Em
The moment I unpack my bag it's almost time to go
C G Bm Em
It all slows to a crawl when I'm just trying to get back home
C G Bm Em
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Am D G
Time only seems to fly by when you're around
[Interlude]
Em C G Em C D
Em C G Em C G
[Verse 2]
G
Mile-markers punctuate the distance
G
Past a certain point they're hard to miss
Am Em
There's a reason I came out here in the first place
G
I guess I just lost sight of what it is
G
I promised you the days would go by quickly
G
Before I pulled my car out of the drive
Am Em
You knew that I was lying when the words came
Am D
But you can't hide your heart from hard goodbyes
[Chorus]
C G Bm Em
The moment I unpack my bag it's almost time to go
C G Bm Em
It all slows to a crawl when I'm just trying to get back home
C G Bm Em
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Am D G
Time only seems to fly by when you're around
[Guitar Solo]
Em C G Em C D
Em C G Em C G
[Chorus]
C G Bm Em
The second I come through the door it's nearly time to leave
C G Bm Em
A month or two away is like a weekend on our street
C G Bm Em
As soon as I lay eyes on you I'm at the speed of sound
Am D C D
Time only seems to fly by, time only seems to fly by
Am D N.C.
Time only seems to fly by
[Outro]
Em
C G
When you're around
Em C D
When you're around...
Em C G Em C G
