The way you kissed me this morning
Told me that you soon [Bb] would be going
[Gm] You didn't even look [Fm] in [C] my eyes
When you said [F] goodbye
And last night in your sleep
You broke all the promises
That [Bb] I knew you would never keep
Now [C] I'm reading the letter
That you [Am] placed on the dresser
And [Bb] you're five [C] hundred miles [F] down the road
Escape is so simple
In a world where sunsets can be erased
[C] But distance only loses [Bb] the knife
The pattern [Dm] of its scars [Am] can always be [F] traced
Yeah, I remember when we said forever
[Bb] Was the craziest word that we knew
[Gm] But I think that I get [C] much better
[Gm] Than I [Dm] do [F] goodbye
And I could sit here all evening
And think of the reasons
[Am] [Bb] Why you're not by my side
[C] Instead I'll go to the kitchen
[Am] Find a strong chair to sit in
[Bb] And drink [C] myself a [F] faraway
[Bb] Escape is so simple
In a world where sunsets can [F] be erased
[D] But [C] distance only loses [Bb] the knife
The pattern [Dm] of its scars can [Am] always
