Intro: DADADGAD
Her birthday came and went without a card or a single I Love You,
DGAD
On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two,
GD
She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of
praise,
AD
She feels just like a stranger in a home where love has seen it's better days,
Chorus: A
Well, he's takin' her for granted
GD
God only knows why she keeps
hangin' on,
AG
'Cause it's better to be gone,
but not forgotten,
ADAD
Than to be forgotten, but not
gone,
DGAD
Somehow he can't remember when he's late to even take the time to call,
GDA
And even on the nights he's there, she gets the feelin', he's not there at
all,
GD
She's become a prisoner in that big old house, where sweet love used to be,
AD
Well it's not even over, but Lord, she feels just like a memory,
Repeat ChorusAGATag; 'Cause it's better to gone but not forgotten, gone but not forgotten,
DAD
Than to be forgotten, but not gone.
