verse 1 
             C#m 
Dear Mom and Dad, 
                 A 
I’ve been making plans 
              C#m 
To leave this house and yes I’m sure 
            A                                     E 
So lock the door, and turn the front porch lights out 

Pre Chorus 
      B               C#m 
After all the endless fights 
               A                    E 
The who’s been wrong and who’s been right 
        B         C#m      A 
We just never saw eye to eye 

Chorus 
   C#m                 A 
So there’s no need to apologize

Don’t wait up, I’ll be fine 
             C#m           
If you could see inside my head 
                A 
Maybe you could understand 
         E 
That I’m better off 
               B 
I’m better off gone 
               C#m      A 
I'm better off gone 

verse 2

Dear Mom and Dad,

I’ve been making plans

To leave your house and yes I’m sure 
               A                                  E 
That nothing’s wrong, so just be strong on my way out

After all the endless nights

The who’s been wrong and who’s been right

We just never saw eye to eye

That I’m better off 
               B 
I’m better off gone

I’m better off gone ‘cause we don’t see eye to eye
