verse 1 

      G 
Some chewing gum and candy, some magazines and snacks 
      C 
Some starting over money that I've been holding back 
   G                                                             D 
A change of clothes and notepad to write a letter back to say so long 
  G 
A one-way ticket saying good-bye to everything 
 C 
Threw my wedding band out the window of the train 
G 
All I want's my freedom, reclaim my maiden name 
           D              G 
I'm moving on because I'm gone 

 
        C        F                C 
You can tell the truth or you can lie 
        C     F             C 
You can say I left you or I died 
        C           Am           F         C 
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest 
          F                           C       G7 
And could spend years looking for the light 
        C              Am               F   C 
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I 
        C       Am            F 
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home 
        C            Am            F            C 
You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth 
        C        G7      C                 G 
You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone 

verse 2 

        G 
You think that you're above me, like I'm not good enough 
    C 
You make me feel unwanted, unwelcome and unloved 
       G 
You're selfish, vain and greedy; you're hateful, rude and rough 
              D 
And you're so wrong 
          G 
But you'd rather live unhappy and tolerate the pain 
     C 
Than separate and have me taking half of everything 
          G 
Well, I'm leaving your possessions, left on the good-bye train 
          D                G 
Left you alone because I'm gone 


        C        F                   C 
You can have the house, the car, the boat 
   C        F              C 
My records, books and stereo 
    C           Am        F              C 
The dog and the cat, my ceramic shop out back 
   F                      C       G7 
My doll collection and my clothes 
        C            Am                  F               C 
You can keep all our friends and all the pictures in the den 
        Am     F                 C    G7 
And the fluffy pillows you sleep on 
             C        Am           F           C 
But when you lay your head on that big feather bed 
        C      G7            C             G 
You can rest assured I'll be gone; I'll be gone 

        G        C                G 
You can tell the truth or you can lie 
        G     C             G 
You can say I left you or I died 
        G          Em           C         G 
Say I'm in the Himalayas on some spiritual quest 
          C                           G       D 
And could spend years looking for the light 
        G              Em               C   G 
Say I'm in the witness program with the F.B.I 
      G       Em            C 
Say a U.F.O. abducted me from home 
        G            Em            C            G 
You can say what you choose, but I tell you the truth 
        G        D      G                 D 
You can say for sure I'm gone, because I'm gone

         D                        G 
I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone
