[Verse 1]
You said you'd always be there for me
You said you'd always be in my life
But now, oh now you're chasing dragons instead
They told me I was chasing the moon
I should have listened up, I'm a fool
A fool tangled up in your web

[Pre-Chorus]
All for the taste of some wine stained lips
Two hundred miles just to get my fix
This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

[Chorus]
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for

[Verse 2]
Please tell me old friend
Did you find what you were looking for?
I'd like to tell you that without you
I'm so happy I could die
[Pre-Chorus]
All for the taste of some wine stained lips
Two hundred miles just to get my fix
This shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

[Chorus]
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for

[Bridge]
It seems that I can't count
All the roads that I've been down
And it seems that I can't count
All the towns that I've drowned in and burned to the ground
But oh, what a find, when I found this fine place
So full of style
And second hand love so incredibly cheap
I stayed for nine months and I stayed for nine weeks
[Chorus]
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
Nine miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
Nine miles to happiness
I got something to live for
