Intro: C F G

   C
Well I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls
 	   F 	 
She dont ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all
        G
That a fire might still be burning yet
 	  	  	  	    C
She's about as gone as a girl can get

She don't even show up, in my dreams at night
          F
But my stubborn old memory, keeps holding on tight
G
Sure makes it hard to forget
 	  	  	  	    C
She's about as gone as a girl can get

              F
She's outta here she disappeared without a trace
         Dm  	  	  	   G

More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face
          C
With a destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight
  F
Last seen heading right on out of my life
G
And like a stranger I ain't never met
 	  	  	  	   C 	 
She's about as gone as a girl can get
