Tom: G
Cadd9 G D G
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G D G
The streets of my home town, ain't my home now
Cadd9 G D G
I’m one last cigarette teenager, wasted on the town
Cadd9 G D G Cadd9 G
My friends all took to fentanyl, or fatherhood or felony
D
That could've been me
Cadd9 G D G
The streets of my home town, sleep well at night
Cadd9 G D G
I'm pacing up and down those same old faded traffic lines
Cadd9 G D G
My parents’ home stays dark past 12, and the public parks outside
Cadd9 G D
And I ain't been back since my dog Jasper died
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Tell me how we got so distant
D G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
Cadd9 G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
Cadd9 G
And know that I regret this distance
D G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
G
And it's always close
D
But the further I go
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G D G
These high school halls where I come from seem small
Cadd9 G D G
I'm drinking in the parking lot behind the shopping mall
Cadd9 G D G
My friends they took to fentanyl, or having kids before 18
Cadd9 G D
And now it's been too long for me to call
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Tell me how we got so distant
D G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
Cadd9 G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
Cadd9 G
And know that I regret this distance
D G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
G
And it's always close
D
But the further I go
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
[Bridge]
Cadd9 G D
The streets of my home town, ain't my home now
Cadd9 G D
I’m one last cigarette teenager, wasted on the town
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Tell me how we got so distant
D G
I was just a kid causing trouble like a minute go
Cadd9 G
Sneaking out and hoping no one would know
D
But the further I go, the harder it hits me
Cadd9 G
And know that I regret this distance
D G
It took all I had just to pick up and leave
Cadd9
Yeah that could've been me
G
And it's always close
D
But the further I go
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9 G D
The harder it hits me when I come back home
Cadd9
The harder it hits me when I come back home
