Capo 2nd Fret (To Match Recording)
Intro: (G) (G) (G) (G)
(Cadd9) Wonder where she is tonight
Is she alone or did she find
What (G) she needed from me
(Cadd9) Guess I got what I deserve
How could I go on hurtin' her that (G) way
And think she'd stay
(Em) I found it (D) sittin' on the (C) stove
It was (Em) yellow written (D) on post it (C) note
(Em) And (D) that was all she (C) wrote
(D) She's (Cadd9) gone
Like the mind of a (D) man insane
(Em) Gone like the sun when it (D) turns to rain
(Em) Runs down the road and (D) down the drain
So (C) long (D)
(Cadd9) Gone like money when you (D) pay the rent
(Em) Gone like the time I (D) shoulda spent
At (C) home
With (C/B) her
Too (Bb) bad
One (Am) word
(G) Gone
(Cadd9) Now when she showed up
For a minute I didn't know what to (G) say
I was blown away
(Cadd9) This time I'm gonna do things right
Gonna show her every night
I (G) care - this time, I swear
(Em) As I reach (D) out to touch her (C) face
(Em) That's when the (D) whole thing starts to (C) fade
(Em) I hear the (D) sound of my alarm (C) clock, and it hits me
(G) Like a (C) Mack truck doing 90
(G) Down a (C) one-way, dead-end, road down straight to (D) hell
Repeat Chorus
(D) Gone..gone..(Cadd9) Gone like money when you (D) pay the rent
(Em) Gone like the time I (G) shoulda spent
At (C) home
With (C/B) her
Too (Bb) bad
One (Am) word
(G) Gone
Fade out...
