[Verse 1]
Am     G                     C                C
   I'm going as far as I can go away from here
          Am               G                    C          C
Away from you Jake and the hole you've sunk me into.
Am    G                         C                     C
    I wish that I could belong here with you and just be
Am                 G              C          C
    But that's not all that I'm about.
Dm        Dm                Am             Am
     Your life is built on accidents like meeting me.
          G                        Am          Am7              A
You write everything down in your grocery list people do this.
      Dm                G                  Am7         A
Even insects buzz like airplanes why can't we fly away?
Am         G                    C       C     C#m7b5    F#
       I'm going as far as I can go.
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bm        A                  D                 D
     Your dad died cause his heart hurt, arcing away
                Bm                 A
His forty-five years dragging your mom along.
     D                         D                        Bm
Well I don't want that, and neither do you. Neither do you.
   A                  D                      D                            Bm      A
If I am not fun, and I am not interesting, perhaps I am not interested in you
D        D         Em
Neither are you.
               Em                  Bm
And you can't stand in front of an oven, if it's warm,
            Bm                 A
'Cause the fumes are dangerous.

Away from here, away from you, Jake,
