Strum
D-DU-UDU
You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
When it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
*Perhaps a D or G chord there? Try it out.
That is the basic form of the song. The rest of it continues in similar fashion.
They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Oh- gone
I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone
Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
