By Lee Greenwood
Capo 1
E A E
It's over, I left the door unlocked again
A F#m
But this time someone new walked in
A D
While she was all alone
E A E
He told her that there was much more life to see
A F#m
Than she would ever see with me
B7 E
Now she's going, going, gone
It's over, I never thought I'd see this day
When everything would walk away
That I depended on
God, he'll hold her to make sure she don't change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
She's going, going, gone
A C#m F#m7 A
I should have paid attention; there were many warning signs
B D C#7
But I just never thought she'd walk away
F#m7
Now here I stand in silence
B D
Just the echo of the words I heard her say
She said it's over & much too late to change her mind
I've lost her all the way this time
She's going, going, gone
