A Bm F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A Bm F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A
I'm trying not to think of her but think of nothing else
D
And the sights of the shoes at the end of the bed
E
And the gap on the wall where she hangs up her jacket
A
I try not to think of her, but she's seen I'm on a losing streak
D
And the bathroom is bare, and the kitchen is cold
E
And the nights long and I try to remember
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m D F#m D A E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
F#m D F#m D A E
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young
-- Bridge --
A Bm F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A Bm F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A
I try not to think of you but think of nothing else
D E
And if you're out and enjoying yourself, well I hope that you are but not that much
A
You're checking your phone to see if I care, a secret, a wishing, I want you in there
D
D'ya still think of me favorably
E
Well I hope that you do, please say you remember
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m D F#m D A E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
F#m D F#m D A E
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young
-- Bridge x 2 --
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m D F#m D A E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m D A E Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall

The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young
-- OUTRO --
Any corrections of lyrics or tab let me know I did both by ear.
Also for the Pre-Chorus you can choose to play it a little like the intro with the A Asus4 & D Dsus2
but I'll let you work out the timing for that.
Cheers.
