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

[Bm]...I'm [G]going as far as I can [D]go away from here

Away from you[Bm] Jake and the h[A]ole you've sunk me in[D]to.        [D]                 [Bm]

I w[G]ish that I could belong here with y[D]ou and just[D] be       [Bm]

But that's not [A]all that I'm ab[D]out.     [D]              [Em]

Your l[G]ife is built on a[Bm]ccidents like meeting me.

You write e[Em]verything down in your gr[A]ocery list p[D]eople do this. [D]

Even i[Em]nsects buzz like a[A]irplanes why can't [D]we fly awa[D]y?       [Bm]

I'm g[A]oing as far as I can [D]go.      [D]               [Em]

Your d[A]ad died cause his h[D]eart hurt, arcing away his forty-five y[Bm]ears,

Dragging your m[A]om along.

Well [D]I don't want that, and neither do you. Neither do [Bm]you.

If [G]I am not fun, and I[D] am not interesting,

Perhaps I am not interested in [Bm]you,    [A]

[D]Neither are you.[D]           [Em]

And you c[A]an't stand in front of an oven,[D] if it's warm,

'Cause the fumes are dangerous[Bm].        [A]                 [D]                         [D]                                 [Bm]

I'm g[G]oing as far as I can [D]go.

Away from here, away from yo[Bm]u, Jake,

And the h[A]ole you've sunk me int[D]o.        [D]                 [Bm]

I w[G]ish that I could belong here, with[D] you, and just[D] be.     [Bm]

But that's not a[A]ll that I'm about.[D].. to do.
