[Verse 1]
[G]The first guy I know who died
I can't remember his name
[C]The tenth grade started,
he just never came [G]again
All his friends sat around and cried
for a [D]day or two

[Verse 2]
You can [G]say what you want
about immortal soul
When that [C]guy died it left a hole
It was [G]my first clue
[D]That when they're gone
[G]they're gone

[Verse 3]
[G]
[D]Maybe Je[C]sus beat that rap
We're not sure
May[G]be you can live forever
If your heart is pure

[Verse 4]
Or maybe [D]you'll come back
Some day a a king [G]prawn
May[D]be [C]an gels come
And take you away to [G]heaven

[Verse 5]
Or the [G]other way
[D]But from down here it appears
That when they're gone
They're gone
[G]

[Verse 6]
Me and Stevie Gibson used
to walk home from school
[C]He used to have this little turn around rule
If [G]you turn around the one
way gotta turn around
The other way or it's [D]bad luck

[Verse 7]
He [G]went out rafting on the river
The river went [C]around and
the raft went around
And his luck [G]got all wound
up and [D]he drowned
And he was gone
[G]

[Verse 8]
Maybe Je[C]sus beat that rap
We're not sure
May[G]be you can live forever
If your heart is pure

[Verse 9]
Or maybe [D]you'll come back
Some day a a king [G]prawn
[D]Maybe an[C]gels come
And take you away to [G]heaven

[Verse 10]
Or the [G]other way
[D]But from down here it appears
That when they're gone
They're gone
[G]

[Verse 11]
Two weeks after Dieter died you
could call him on the phone
[C]And he would tell you that
he's not [G]home
And it gave you an eerie feeling
even though you knew
It was just an an[D]swering machine

[Verse 12]
'Cause [G]somewhere deep
inside you know
That they [C]don't come back when they go
[G]And he had gone
And when [D]they're gone,
they're gone
[G]

[Verse 13]
[D]Maybe Je[C]sus beat that rap
We're not sure
[G]Maybe you can live forever
If your heart is pure

[Verse 14]
Or maybe [D]you'll come back
Some day a a king [G]prawn
[D]Maybe an[C]gels come
And take you [G]away to heaven

[Verse 15]
Or the [G]other way
[D]But from down here it appears
That when they're gone
They're gone
[G]

[Verse 16]
My mother died in intensive care
We were sit[C]ting around singing
on folding [G]chairs
When I got the feeling
somebody wasn't there
[D]Well

[Verse 17]
I [G]counted noses but
it came out right
The doc[C]tors said she died that night
[G]But I felt that hole and I[D]
knew that she had gone
[G]

[Verse 18]
[D]Maybe Je[C]sus beat that rap
We're not sure
[G]Maybe you can live forever
If your heart is pure

[Verse 19]
Or maybe [D]you'll come back
Some day a a king [G]prawn
May[D]be [C]an gels come
And take you [G]away to heaven

[Verse 20]
Or the [G]other way
[D]But from down here it appears
That when they're gone
They're gone
[G]

[Verse 21]
I looked up death in the dictionary one [D]day
Just [C]to see what the dictionary had to say
It's [G]the complete and irreversible
cessation of life [D]functions

[Verse 22]
[D]
Which is [G]not very poetic but
it's precise and clean
And if [C]you analyze it what that means [G]is
When they're gone,
[D]they're gone
[G]

[Verse 23]
Maybe Je[C]sus beat that rap
We're not sure
[G]Maybe you can live forever
If your heart is pure
[D]Or maybe you'll

[Verse 24]
come back
Some day a a king [G]prawn
May[D]be an[C]gels come
And take you away to [G]heaven

[Verse 25]
Or the [G]other way
[D]But from down here it appears
That when they're gone
They're [G]gone
