lyrics

We’re Gone

G
Leave the dishes on the back porch. The birds will pick them clean.
D
Pour the cat food in the bath tub. Kill the answering machine.
C
Tape a note to the front door with two simple words, saying, “We’re gone.”
Em D
We’re gone from the bickering. We’re gone from the past.
Em C
We’re gone from that one more thing on our list at last.
Am G
I’ve got you where I want you, right before my eyes.
D Dsus4 G
We’re gone, but we’re after the big prize.

refrain
G
We’re gone, fare-thee-well and so long.
D
We’re gone, fare-thee-well and so long.
C G
We’re gone, fare-thee-well and so long. Yes, we’re gone.



Tell your sister that you cannot will not must not watch her kids.
Take the sauerkraut and corned beef hash, but don’t forget the lids.
Tell the postman he can have all of our junkmail bogus checks with a fare-thee-well.
Fare-thee-well to the neighbors. Fare-thee-well to smoke alarms.
Fare-thee-well to the nightly news. It can only do us harm.
I’ve got you in my arms now and there you’re gonna stay.
Fare-thee-well to the clutter in the way.

refrain

Pack a flashlight and one sleeping bag and that dress I can’t resist.
Leave the grocery cart in aisle nine. Just hand someone the list.
Send a fancy card to that boss of mine who watches every dime, saying, “So long.”
So long to the lunch break. So long to overtime.
So long to the slow dissolving of my weary mind.
I’ve got you in the front seat. Our troubles far behind.
So long never sounded quite so fine.

refrain
