VERSE 

A 
Well here we are again 
D 
It's always such a pleasure 
A                          D           E 
Remember when you tried to kill me twice? 
A 
Oh, how we laughed and laughed 
D 
Except I wasn't laughing 
A                        D              C# 
Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice 

 

F#                B 
You want your freedom take it 
F#                B 
That's what I'm counting on 
F#         B 
I used to want you dead but 
D           E        A 
Now I only want you gone 


VERSE 

A 
She was a lot like you 
D 
(Maybe not quite as heavy) 
A                      D        E 
Now little Caroline is in here too 
A 
One day they woke me up 
D 
So I could live forever 
A                                 D      C# 
It's such a shame the same will never happen to you 

 

F#                B 
You've got your short, sad life left 
F#                B 
That's what I'm counting on 
F#            B 
I'll let you get right to it 
D           E        A 
Now I only want you gone 


VERSE 

A 
Goodbye, my only friend 

Oh, did you think I meant you? 
A                          D 
That would be funny if it weren't so sad 
A 
Well you have been replaced 
D 
I don't need anyone now 
A                          D        C# 
When I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad 

 

F#              B 
Go make some new disaster 
F#                B 
That's what I'm counting on 
F#               B 
You're someone else's problem 
D           E        A 
Now I only want you gone 
D           E        A 
Now I only want you gone 
D           E        A 
Now I only want you gone
