Words and music by Matt Hillyer
Verse:
E A
Memories never look as good on paper,
E B7
No matter what the words, you can't ever set that tone,
E A
Lost love never paints a pretty picture,
E B7 E
Cause when memories are all you've got you're all alone,
Verse:
E A
Thumbin through old picture books won't get you anywhere,
E B7
Take it from a man who knows it's true,
E A
And to look at those tear-stained pictures again is more than I could bear,
E B7 E
How'd I ever get so far from you.
Chorus:
A E
A hundred miles of heartache,
A E
So many miles of misery,
A E
A thousand miles of tribulation,
E A B7 E
Ain't half the distance between you and me.,
Verse:
E A
I traded in our old king-sized bed for a mattress on the floor,
E B7
It was too big of a bed for one man to sleep on,
E A
It was empty and cold and I know it's because you're not there anymore,
E B7 E
One more small reminder that you're gone,
Verse:
E A
I ask old friends we used to know have they seen you around,
E B7
They don't know or they never seem to say,
E A
I hope you find what you're looking for wherever you are bound,
E B7 E
but I wish you wouldn't stay so far away.
Repeat Chorus:
