Chords for Rob Thomas "If You're Gone" Live @ The Borgata Music Box

_ _ How we doing? _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Hold on, I have to consult. _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Alright, _ _ _ I've consulted, it's good. _
So when I met Madi the first time,
you gotta understand,
and her _ dad's here, who is now my dad,
my dad, my dad, my dad,
my dad, my dad, my dad,
my dad, my dad, my _ _ dad,
my dad, my dad, my dad,
my dad, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my _ dad, my dad,
my dad, my dad, my dad,
so I want to say this because everything I'm about to say after this,
it makes a lot of sense
with the time that we're in.
First, _ she comes home and says,
I met this guy, _ _ I know it's very sweet.
Her dad, _
dad,
_ _ comes in, throws out a picture of Scott Wildin
on the table and goes, is this him? _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [A] _ [F#] Then,
her best friend, who is now my [N] best friend,
Dayan, who is not here, and if he was,
we would hear him cackle.
_ _ _ He walks in the room
when she's not there to the family
and has an intervention. _
_ _ She says, Madi is a group_ _ _
_ She's dating this fucking guy in a band? _
_ He wears
eyeliner and nail polish? _
_ _ _ _ _ 90s, 90s, by the way.
_ _ _ The 90s did a lot of bad things to good people
at some point, I know. _ _ _ _ _ _
And these were, and these were things
that we kind of shoved off, and then one day
I was, I was, I was out and
we were very early,
early on, and she called me
and said, this just
can't work.
We are too different,
we are too, your life isn't my life,
this isn't what I want to do.
She had just gotten her
master's degree from St.
John's in marketing
and she was going on forward and doing this.
I was just a
ball of cracked suckery.
I didn't know what I was
going to do.
I was just lucky.
And I had just sold a few records, so I was
at this time in our life, _
I was more
famous than she thought that I was. _ _
But less
famous than I thought that I was. _ _ _
_ _ And so
that night she called me, I was in Denver,
I remember I was in a hotel,
_ [F#m] and I sat down, [N] and I wrote
this song, and this song was a get _
your life that you
know is your future and you see it right there
and it's about to leave you and just do whatever
you can to get it back song.
And because
I don't have any other skills,
I can't fix her car, or her television,
I can't do math problems,
I can write a song. _ _ _
_ And so I
wrote this song.
_ And this is
I _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ think I've already [D] lost you
I _ [F#m] _ [Em] think you're [D] already lost
_ _ _ [A] I think I'm finally
[D] scared now, cause you [Bm] think
I'm weak, but I think [B] you're [E] wrong
_ I [A] think you're [D] already leaving
_ _ [F#m] you'd [E] like your hands [D] on the door
and [A] I thought
this place was an empire
but [Bm] now I'm relaxed
and I [B] can't be sure
I _ _ think you're
[Bm] so mean, I think we
[E] should try, I think I
could meet this
[D] in my [C#] life and I
[Bm] think I'm scared, but I
think so [E] much
[G] I know it's wrong
I know it's a far away
I think if [A] you're gone
_ maybe it's time [D] to come
_ cause [B] _ _ _
[Bm] there's an awful
lot of breathing [E] room
but I can [A] hardly move _ _ _
and if you're gone
_ baby you need [D] to come [Bm] home
[C#] just come [C#m] home
[Bm] there's a little bit of something
in [B] _ _
[A] everything
_ _ [D] and _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ I'll
bet your [D] heart
and I'll _ [E] bet my [D] room
just won't shine
_ [A] but [C#m] I'll bet both [D] hands
I can [C#m] stay here, I'll [Bm] bet
you need more
than [E] you'll ever need
_ [B] but I thought to myself
[Bm] I [B] think we should try
[E] I think [A] I could meet
[D] this in my life
and I [Bm] think I'm scared
but I know
[B] I [E] _ _ [G] can't
I can't really
I _ can't really
if [A] you're gone _
_ maybe it's [D] time to come
[Bm] cause _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] there's an awful
lot of breathing [E] room
_ but I [A] can hardly move
and [F#] _ _ _ [A] if you're gone
then baby you need to [D] come home
[C#m] won't you [A] come home
_ [Bm] there's a little bit of something
[B] in me and _ [Bm] everything
and _
_ [E] I _ _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ think
you're so [Bm] mean
I think we [E] should try
[B] I think I [A] could meet
[D] this in my life
[A] and I think [Bm] I'm scared
do I talk [E] too much _ [G] I know
it's wrong and you
I fear if [E] you're gone [A] maybe
it's time [D] to come home
you [A] _
_ _ [B] see there's
an [Bm] awful lot of breathing [B] room
but I can hardly move _ _
_ [A] and if you're gone
then baby you need to [D] come home
won't [A] you come home
[Bm] there's a little bit of something
[B] in me and everything
[Bm] _ in
_ [E] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] something [E] in me and _ [Bm] everything
in
_ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ in you _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
