[Verse 1]
Am D
Coming home early, catching on late
Am D
Guess I had too much on my plate
Am D
Wish it was as simple as somebody done somebody wrong
Am D
I’m coming home early, catching on late

[Chorus]
G D
There’s miles between us
Em D A C
But boy, you should’ve seen us when we met
G D
I loved your anger and
Em D A C
The way you’d catch a stranger in your net

[Verse 2]
Am D
She’ll be driving in the fall
Am D
And we’ll sit up waiting on the call
Am D
As she leaves, I’ll tell her don’t get hurt and don’t get pregnant, but
Am D
She won’t acknowledge me at all

[Chorus]
G D
Thеre’s miles between us
Em D A C
But boy, you should’vе seen us, she was scared to let go of my hand
G D Em D A
A tiny carnival, she said, “Daddy, is this just like Disneyland?”
C A C
“Yes, it’s just like Disneyland”

In the name of survival, we get used to this
A D A D F
In the name of forgiveness, we get bored
A D A D F
For our own entertainment, we ball up our fists
A D A D F
Take it out on the kid at the grocery store
A D A D F
In the name of desire, we burn everything
A D A D F
In the name of redemption, buy it back
A D A D F
For our own entertainment, clip each other’s wings
A D A D F
Take it out on the kids when we can’t keep track
A D A D F
In the name of survival, we get used to this
A D A D F
In the name of forgiveness, we get bored
A D A D F
In the name of survival, we get used to this

[Chorus]
G D
There’s miles between us
Em D A C
But boy, you should’ve seen us in the good old days
G D
It was just like Disneyland
Em D A C
You didn’t even see the hand that turned the page
A C A
The hand that turned the page
