[Intro]
 
C  C/G
 
[Verse 1]
 
C    C/G    C          C/G
Untie me, I've said no vows
C    C/G       C              C/G
The train is getting way too loud
           F
I gotta leave here my girl
                  C         C/G   C   C/G
Get on with my lonely life
                 G
Just leave the ring on the rail
                    C       C/G   C   C/G
For the wheels to nullify
 
[Verse 2]
 
C C/G       C          C/G
Until this turn in my head
   C      C/G          C       C/G
I let you stay and you paid no rent
          F                        C     C/G   C   C/G
I spent twelve long months on the lam
                G
That's enough sitting on the fence
                           C    C/G   C   C/G
For the fear of breaking dams
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Am        C
I find a fatal flaw
           F
In the logic of love
              C        G
And go out of my head
 
Am            C
You love a sinking stone
          F
That'll never elope
 
[Chorus]
       C            G
So get used to the lonesome
       C         G
Girl, you must atone some
        C           G            F
Don't leave me no phone number there
 
 
[Solo]
 
          C  C/G (x4)
          F
          C  C/G (x2)
          G
          C  C/G (x2)
 
[Verse 3]
 
C  C/G      C        C/G
It took me all of a year
C             C/G   C         C/G
To put the poison pill to your ear
            F                           C        C/G    C     C/G
But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground
              G
You want to fight for this love
                F
But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
                C    C/G    C   C/G
So baby it's clear
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
Am          C
You want to jump and dance
         F
But you sat on your hands
              C             G
And lost your only chance
 
Am            C
Go back to your hometown
         F
Get your feet on the ground
           C             G
And stop floating around
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 
Am        C
I find a fatal flaw
           F
In the logic of love
              C             G
And go out of my head
 
Am            C
You love a sinking stone
          F
That'll never elope
 
[Chorus]
 
        C              G
So get used to the lonesome
       C         G
Girl, you must atone some
        C           G            F
Don't leave me no phone number there

no gone for good is what it was called before they put it on the cd as a call to apathy.

+10

it is called gone for good, and in the second verse, where it goes: "I spent twelve long months on the lam" thats not a G chord, its F. other than that good tab.

I tried what JesseJack suggested, but I would suggest putting the capo on the 11th fret and simply playing the guitar upside down.
