G   C  Em  


[Verse]
G                                     C                      Em
Is it raining where you are? The only thing I could think to ask
            G                        C                Em 
But nothin’ ever hurt so bad As the no that you said back
                   C                       G    
But ain't that the truth man, Those are just facts
                D
The farther you go from where you start
               Em
The harder it is to get back, 
            C
In order to figure things out
            G                   
I gotta get real real confused, 
                  D
I'm just tryin' to figure out what I've started man
         Em 
I'm just doin' what I need to do


[Chorus] 

        C       D       G   Em         C    D    G 
Love of my life, Gone forever, Love of my life, Gone for good
        C      D        G   Em         C                  D                  G
Love of my life, Gone forever, Get her back good Lord, You know I wish I could


[Verse] 

     G  
I tried to explain

I tried to explain to you
      C                         Em 
That everything I'm doing right now, 

Won't pay off for another year or two
                            G
I never thought that it'd get so far

But now I'm doin what I gotta do
C                  Em                  
I understand that business is business

And I hope that you do too
             C 
I do not blame you
                      G 
Your natural instinct to protect
                       D
Gave me a list of things to keep this going
                  Em
And I only got a few more things to get
C                          G
This one's for the privacy I think that I deserve
       D
No you can not join in
              Em
God damn these people got some nerve


[Chorus] 
          C    
Leave me alone
D                     G       Em 
I'm tryin to get in the zone
C
Leave me alone
D                       G
I'm tryin’ to get in the zone
        C      D        G   Em         C       D         G
Love of my life, Gone forever, Love of my life, gone for good
