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
