| E   B | E   B |
| E   B | E   B |
 
[Verse 1]
E                           B       E
  She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
                        B         E
Than try and fix what's going on
                 B       E                                B
But the problem keeps on calling, even with the cell-phone gone
E                          B        E
  She told him that she believes in living
                  B       E
Bigger than she's living now
                    B        E                    B  A
But her world keeps spinning backwards, and upside   down
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
             B                       A
Don't say so long and throw yourself wrong,
                   B           N.C.
don't spin today away, 'cause today will soon be
 
[Chorus 1]
E                         A
Gone, like yesterday is gone
                C#m                          C
Like history is gone, just try and prove me wrong
                          E     B  E   B
And pretend like you're immortal
 
[Verse 2]
E                           B       E
She said, he said live like no tomorrow
             B
Every day we borrow
E                         B      E
Brings us one step closer to the edge
       B
Infinity
E                                   B
Where's your treasure, where's your hope
       E                            B
If you get the world and lose your soul
E                   B      E                         B
  She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
A               B
  Don't say so long
                    A                                      B
You’re not that far gone this could be your big chance to makeup
 
[Chorus 2]
N.C.               E                        A
Today will soon be gone, like yesterday is gone
                C#m                            B
Like history is gone, the world keeps spinning on
                     E                           B
You're going, going, gone, like summer break is gone
                 C#m                         C
Like Saturday is gone, just try and prove me wrong
                         E
You pretend like you're immortal (You’re immortal)
B        E                          B
You’re immortal (You’re immortal) Haha
 
[Bridge]
E                     G
  We are not infinite, we are not permanent
A                      C
  Nothing's immediate
E                    G
  We're so confident, in our accomplishments
A                       C
  Look at our decadence
 
[Outro]
E
Gone (Gone) Like Frank Sinatra
A                           C#m
  (Gone) Like Elvis and his mum (Gone)
                 A
Like Al Pacino's cash, (Gone) nothing lasts in this life
E                                    A
  (Gone)  My high-school dreams are gone (Gone)
                         C#m
My child-hood sweets are gone (Gone)
                   A*
Life is a day that doesn't last for long
 
E                                A
(Gone)  Life is more than money (Gone) time was never money
C#m                           A
(Gone)  Time was never cash, life is still more than girls
E                                           A
Life is more than hundred dollar bills, and roto-tom films
                  C#m
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
A                                            E
(Gone) All the riches of the kings end up in wills
                             A                         C#m
We've got information in the information age but do we know what life is
           A
Outside of our convenient Lexus cages
E                                A
She said, he said live like no tomorrow
                     C#m                              A
Every moment that we borrow, brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
E                              A
Hey, Bono, I'm glad you asked, life is still worth living
C#m                         A
Life is still worth living, life is more than you are
    E
Hey life is...
