verse 1 

C                     G       Am  
On the morning of her wedding day  
                      G   (C)    
When no one was awake   
    F                G 
She drove across the border  
        C              Am                    
Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake  
             F                    C  
Her mother's tears, her breakfast order    
C  
She's gone, gone, gone

verse 2 

C                    G       Am       
There is a moment, a chip in time    
             C           G      Am 
When leaving home is the lesser crime    
                   G          Am  
When your eyes are blind with tears  
         C  
But your heart can see  
              G           C      C/B   
Another life, another galaxy    


Bridge 

Am       F           C  
    That night her dreams are storm-tossed as a willow    

She hears the clouds    
             G             Am  
She sees the eye of a hurricane  
      F                        G    
As it sweeps across her island pillow    
          C                  Bb F C  
But she's gone, gone, gone     

 
Outro 

C                    G       Am 
There is a moment, a chip in time    
             C           G      Am          
When leaving home is the lesser crime    
                   G          Am 
When your eyes are blind with tears    
         C        
But your heart can see    
              G       C 
Another life, another galaxy
