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

[Chorus 1]
        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

[Chorus 2]
        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

[Chorus 1]
        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

[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

I Threw my wedding band out the window of the train

I'm moving on because I'm gone
           D                  G
Oh, I'm gone, gone, gone; I'm gone
         D                        G
I'm so gone, I'm gone; gone, I'm gone
