Miles

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:
