F                                                 C
Well, I was a little boy sitting in the back seat combing his hair
F                                           G
And I never looked down though the evidence was there
 F                                       C
'Cause a map was drawn through the middle of my hands
Am                            G        F         C
It's a cruel, cruel map that leads you from your friends


(Chorus)
C        F    C      C        F     C
When I'm gone again, when I'm gone again
C            Am             G        Em
Will you forget about me when I'm gone
F                       C
They say if you do the crime
F                      C
Then you better do the time
Am                  G
And now I'm doing mine
F        C
I'm gone again


(Verse 2)
F                 C                      F                         C
Well, there was a neighborhood girl with Band-Aids on both of her knees
F                                          G
Heaven knows what made her decide that she loved me
F                                 C
But I'd swallow every letter she would send
Am              G     F            C
Someday I'll be back, I don't know when


(Chorus)
C        F    C      C        F     C
When I'm gone again, when I'm gone again
C            Am             G        Em
Will you forget about me when I'm gone
F                       C
They say if you do the crime
F                      C
Then you better do the time
Am                  G
And now I'm doing mine
F        C
I'm gone again


(Verse 3)
F           C                        F                         C
So, now I'm living in the real world pushing people out of the way
F                                  G
Late for a deadline due last yesterday
F                             C
Sitting in a traffic jam that never ends
Am            G         F    C
Wishing I was who I was back then--


(Chorus)
C        F    C      C        F     C
When I'm gone again, when I'm gone again
C            Am             G        Em
Will you forget about me when I'm gone
F                       C
They say if you do the crime
F                      C
Then you better do the time
Am                  G
And now I'm doing mine
F        C
I'm gone again
