Bm G D/F# A
Bm G D/F# A A7
[Verse 1]
Bm G D/F# A
She's a hundred miles away, I can't take this everyday
Bm G D/F# A
The type of torture that makes you wanna say goodbye
Bm G D/F# A
She's a hundred miles away, don't wanna leave but can I stay?
Bm G D/F# A A7
She is hurting what do I say? She's always on my mind
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Oh I've been trying so hard to fall in love
Cadd9 G Em7 D
With a girl who don't believe in me
Cadd9 G Em7 D
She is there but she's so far away
Cadd9 G Dsus4 D
It's like I'm runnin for nothing and she's running from me

She's a hundred miles away, does she hear the things I say?
Bm G D/F# A
Or will this all fade away before she comes home?
Bm G D/F# A
She's a hundred miles away, and I keep counting down the days
Bm G D/F# A A7
Until she comes back this way then no more goodbyes
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7 D
Oh I've been trying so hard to fall in love

It's like I'm runnin for nothing and she's running from me
