F/A      A#    F/A        A#         A#/D  D#
I don't hang around that place no more
F/A           A#     F/A     A#       A#/D D#
I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor
F/A         A#    F/A   A#     A#/D  D#
And I don't carry myself very well
     F/A    A#       F/A   A#        A#/D D#
I've gotten so much braver, can you tell

Chorus:
F                     A# F/A Gm
I'm happy, can't you see
A#/D   D#           F
I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

And I line my secrets up all one by one
I put 'em all away when I was done
And I would really love to hear your voice sometime
To close a little distance in my mind

I believe

Cm             Gm              D#
Where have you been all these years
Cm             Gm       D#
How could you just disappear
Dm                 F
And when did you stop missing me

Chorus:
I'm happy, can't you see?
I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee
