                             written by:Dwight Yoakam
                                        Kostas

                             performed by Dwight Yoakam on "Gone"

Note: I'm not too sure about the bridge.

 [Intro]
  G

                          Bm
1.I couldn't change your heart
  G                       Bm
  I couldn't change your mind
     C              G
  So I just had to learn to live with
       A               D
  This empty life you left behind

  G                  Bm
2.You didn't try to hear
  G                  Bm
  You didn't try to see
   C                       G
  You just stared right through the teardrops
         A                D
  Like there was nothing left of me

  Em           G
C.Nothing but sorrow
  Em           G
  Nothing but pain
  Em           G
  Nothing but memories
         C           D
  That whisper your name

  Em           G
  Nothing but sadness
  Em           G
  Nothing but fear
  Em           G
  Nothing but silence
      C            D
  Is heard around here

  Bb            Dm
B.Bridges were burned
  Eb            Bb
  Lessons were learned
            Dm              Eb
  Promises made that were broken
           C      F       C
  Tender lies so softly spoken

  G                  Bm
3.You didn't try to hear
  G                  Bm
  You didn't try to see
  C                        G
  You just stared right through the teardrops
         A                D
  Like there was nothing left of me


Repeat chorus
                                              C
