Gone Forever Lyrics

NB: You could just use barre chord shapes throughout the whole song.
I like to mix them with some first inversion chords too, just to add variety,
with some open strings ringing, particularly the top E.
I think the barre Csus2 is actually the correct chord throughout, but if choosing
to use first inversion shapes too, I just think a Cadd9 sounds better when
playing in that particular position.
Near the end of the choruses I make the Dsus2 a D major,
as I think that adding the F# note back in helps that ascending progression
on the top string.

"You'd better start living off the land!", that's what she said,
"They're gonna start working to a plan, with or with - out you,
Even though the cupboards are bare,
Even though there's nothing out there,
You can't just sit around and worry, when you've still got a chance!"
I can see you, but I can't hear... nothing at all,
I've lost you, I know it's clear, be - lieve in it all,
I can see you, but I can't hear, not a word,
Dsus2(type 2) Em(type2)
You're gone for - ever--------------------!
"You try to bring them up to live the right way!",
That's what she said, | / /__/ / / |
"Then you're living with the fear of getting nowhere,
Ah, hah----! | / /__/ / / |
Oh---, nothing could ever com - pare...
...with the simple life they're living out there,
You better start laying down the guidelines,
You'd better start, you'd better start, you'd better start----!"
I can see you, but I can't hear... nothing at all,
I've lost you, I know it's clear, be - lieve in it all,
I can see you, but I can't hear, not a word,
Dsus2(type 2) Em(type2)
You're gone for - ever--------------------!
