Dear mom and dad
I've been making plans
To leave this house
And yes I'm sure
So lock the door
And turn the front porch lights out
And after all the endless fights
The who's been wrong
Yeah who's been right
We just never saw eye to eye
So there's no need to apologize
Don't wait up, I'll be fine
If you could see inside my head
Maybe you'd understand
That I'm better off
I'm better off gone
Dear mom and dad
I've been making plans
To leave your house
And yes I'm sure
That nothing's wrong
So just be strong on my way out
And after all the endless nights
The who's been wrong
And who's been right
We just never saw eye to eye
So there's no need to apologize
Don't wait up, I'll be fine
If you could see inside my head
Maybe you'd understand
That I'm better off
I'm, better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
I'm better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
So there's no need to apologize
Don't wait up, I'll be fine
If you could see inside my head
Maybe you'd understand
That I'm better off
I'm better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
I'm better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
I'm better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
('Cause we don't see eye to eye)
I'm better off gone
'Cause we don't see eye to eye
('Cause we don't see eye to eye)

slow and clean when using the full chords.
