CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   C    Am    F    G  C  
I read the paper, Amturn on the newsF  
And wear the floors out Gwondering what to do, ohC  
The sun is bright, but Amit doesn't shineF  
I've tried to fight it, but it Ghappens every time
CHORUS:
When you're Cgone (FgoneG__)
Day is night
When you're Cgone F(when you're gone__)
It's an Guphill fight
When you're Cgone (Fooh ooh oooh)
Baby, Gnothing, nothing's DmrightC/E  F  G  C  
I'm going crazy, Amsinking like a stoneF  
My friends are calling saying, "GDon't sit home alone", butC  
It's not the same with Amanybody elseF  
And it won't be long 'til I'm Gtalking to myself
CHORUS:
When you're Cgone (FgoneG__)

So I watch that Bbclock on the wall, not Fmoving at all
Just Cfrozen in timeEb  
And I don't mind Bbletting you know I'm Fready to go
Right Bbout of my Gmind_C_
The morning after Amthe night beforeF  
It's hard to tell the Gdifference anymore
InCstead of growing stronger, AmI'm just getting weakF  
Instead of killing time, I Gthink it's killing me
CHORUS:
When you're Cgone (FgoneG__)
Day is night

When you're Cgone (Fooh ooh oooh)
