Capo 4th fret (There's another one posted on the site but this one is more complete and with precise sync of chords and lyrics) [Verse]
The fGirst guy I knew who died I can't remember his name the tCenth grade started he just never came again G all his friends sat around and cried for a Dday or two
You can sGay what you want about immortal soul when tChat guy died it left a hole it was Gmy first clue that wDhen they're gone they're gGone
[Chorus]
Maybe JCesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe yGou can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe yDou'll come back some day as a king pGrawn
Maybe aCngels come and take you away to hGeaven or the other way but Dfrom down here it appears that when they're gone they're gGone
[Verse]
GMe and Stevie Gibson used to walk home from school Che used to have this little turn around rule if you Gturn around the one way gotta turn around the other way or it's Dbad luck
He Gwent out rafting on the river the river went arCound and the raft went around and his luck got Gall wound up and he drDowned and he was gGone
[Chorus]
Maybe JCesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe yGou can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe yDou'll come back some day as a king pGrawn
Maybe Cangels come and take you away to hGeaven or the other way but Dfrom down here it appears that when they're gone they're gGone
[Verse]
TGwo weeks after Dieter died you could call him on the phone Cand he would tell you that he's not home and it gGave you an eerie feeling even though you knew it was just an Danswering machine
'Cause sGomewhere deep inside you know that thCey don't come back when they go and hGe had gone and whDen they're gone they're gGone
[Chorus]
Maybe JCesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe yGou can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe yoDu'll come back some day as a king pGrawn
Maybe aCngels come and take you away to hGeaven or the other way but Dfrom down here it appears that when they're gone they're gGone
[Verse]
GMy mother died in intensive care we were sCitting around singing on folding chairs when GI got the feeling somebody wasn't there D
Well I cGounted noses but it came out right the dCoctors said she died that night but I fGelt that hole and I kDnew that she was gGone
[Chorus]
Maybe JCesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe yGou can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe yoDu'll come back some day as a king pGrawn
Maybe Cangels come and take you away to hGeaven or the other way but fDrom down here it appears that when they're gone they're gGone
[Verse]
I lGooked up death in the dictionary one day just to sCee what the dictionary had to say it's the complGete and irreversible cessation of life fDunctions
Which is nGot very poetic but it's precise and clean and Cif you analyze it what that means is Gwhen they're gone D they're gGone
[Chorus]
Maybe JCesus beat that rap we're not sure maybe yGou can live forever if your heart is pure or maybe yoDu'll come back some day as a king pGrawn
Maybe aCngels come and take you away to hGeaven or the other way but Dfrom down here it appears that when they're gone they're gGone
