[Intro]
E F# A E
E F# A E
[Verse 1]
EWe broke the doorknob F#off the door
    AThe door swung open eEasily
EWe sauntered into the F#poorly-lit store
    AAnd looked around laEzily
EWe stole every bit of candy they F#had inside
AGobbled it all up greedily on our thEree month ride
[Chorus]
I'm gonna mEiss you when you're F#gone
I'm gonna mAiss you when you're gEone
E F# A E
[Verse 2]
EYou headed out to the getF#away car
   AAnd hit the open rEoad
EI saw something written in tall, clear letters F#on your face
   ABut I could not break the cEode
EWe had hot caramel stiF#cking to our teeth
AAnd the only love I've ever known buErning underneath
[Chorus]
I'm gonna mEiss you when you're F#gone
I'm gonna mAiss you when you're gEone
I'm gonna mEiss you when you're F#gone
I'm gonna mAiss you when you're gEone
[Outro]
