Or do you skip my avenue?
……….Am7
When you said you were passin’ through
……….Dm7b5
Was I even on your way?

I knew when I asked you to (When I asked you to)

[Verse 2]
C E7 Am
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
…………………….F Fm
Drivin’ home under the influence
C E7 Am
You scared me to death but I’m wastin’ my breath
…………………………F Fm
‘Cause you only listen to your fuckin’ friends
C E7
I don’t relate to you
Am F
I don’t relate to you, no
……………………….C E7
‘Cause I’d never treat me this shitty
……………………Am F
You made me hate this city
[Bridge]
……………………..C E7
And I don’t talk shit about you on the internet
……………….Am F
Never told anyone anything bad
…………………………C E7
‘Cause that shit’s embarrassing, you were my everything
……………………….Am F
And all that you did was make me fuckin’ sad
…..C E7
So don’t waste the time I don’t have
……..Am F
And don’t try to make me feel bad
………………………..C E7
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
……………………..Am F
But I’d have an empty line ’cause you never did
……………………..C E7
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends, so I
…………………..Am F
Shut them all out for you ’cause I was a kid
[Outro]
C E7
You ruined everything good
…………Am F
Always said you were misunderstood
C E7
Made all my moments your own
Am F
Just fuckin’ leave me alone
