A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again


A
I'm trying not to think of her but think of nothing else
D
And the sights of the shoes at the end of the bed
                                  E
And the gap on the wall where she hangs up her jacket
A
I try not to think of her, but she's seen I'm on a losing streak
D
And the bathroom is bare, and the kitchen is cold
                          E
And the nights long and I try to remember


F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m             D            F#m        D           A            E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
F#m               D              F#m     D          A            E           
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young


-- Bridge --


A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again
A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone
E
Never to be seen again


A
I try not to think of you but think of nothing else
D                                                                 E
And if you're out and enjoying yourself, well I hope that you are but not that much
A
You're checking your phone to see if I care, a secret, a wishing, I want you in there
D
D'ya still think of me favorably
                               E
Well I hope that you do, please say you remember


F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m             D            F#m        D           A            E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
F#m               D              F#m     D          A            E           
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young

F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember
F#m             D            F#m        D           A            E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young
F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall
F#m               D              F#m     D          A            E           
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young


-- OUTRO --


Any corrections of lyrics or tab let me know I did both by ear.

Also for the pre-chorus you can choose to play it a little like the intro with the A/Asus4 & D/Dsus2
but I'll let you work out the timing for that.

Cheers.
