A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone

E
Never to be seen again

A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone

E
Never to be seen again

A
I'm trying not to think of her but think of nothing else

D
And the sights of the shoes at the end of the bed

                                  E
And the gap on the wall where she hangs up her jacket

A
I try not to think of her, but she's seen I'm on a losing streak

D
And the bathroom is bare, and the kitchen is cold

                          E
And the nights long and I try to remember

F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please remember

F#m             D            F#m        D           A            E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young

F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall

F#m               D              F#m     D          A            E           
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young
-- Bridge --
A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone

E
Never to be seen again

A               Bm                  F#m
And then she's here and then she's gone

E
Never to be seen again

A
I try not to think of you but think of nothing else

D                                                                 E
And if you're out and enjoying yourself, well I hope that you are but not that much

A
You're checking your phone to see if I care, a secret, a wishing, I want you in there

D
D'ya still think of me favorably

                               E
Well I hope that you do, please say you remember

F#m          D    A                  E               Bm

F#m             D            F#m        D           A            E
The way that we were, in our own little world, back when we were young

F#m          D    A                  E               Bm
How good it was, even if it's over, please recall

F#m               D              F#m     D          A            E           
The time that we said that we'd never regret, back when we were young

-- OUTRO -- Any corrections of lyrics or tab let me know I did both by ear. Also for the pre-chorus you can choose to play it a little like the intro with the A/Asus4 & D/Dsus2 but I'll let you work out the timing for that. Cheers.
