Intro: (D)   (A)   (D)   (A)

Her (D) birthday came and went without a (G) card or a (A) single I Love (D) You,
On their anniversary she sat all a(G)lone at a table set for (A) two,
She (G) tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word (D) of praise,
She (A) feels just like a stranger in a home where love has seen it's better (D) days,

   Well, he's (A) takin' her for granted
   God (G) only knows why she keeps hangin' (D) on,
   'Cause it's (A) better to be gone, but not for(G)gotten,
   (A) Than to be forgotten, but not (D) gone  (D)  (A)  (D)  (A)

Some(D)how he can't remember when he's (G) late to even (A) take the time to (D) call,
And even on the nights he's there, she (G) gets the feelin', he's not there at (A) all,
(G) She's become a prisoner in that big old house, where sweet love used (D) to be,
Well (A) it's not even over, but Lord, she feels just like a memor(D)y,
   
   Well, he's (A) takin' her for granted
   God (G) only knows why she keeps hangin' (D) on,
   'Cause it's (A) better to be gone, but not for(G)gotten,
   (A) Than to be forgotten, but not (D) gone   

   'Cause it's (A) better to be gone, but not for(G)gotten,
   Gone but not (A) forgotten, than to be forgotten, but not (D) gone (A) (D) (A) (D)

NOTE: This is such a great song. It's a shame that Decca didn't release it as 
a single. Proof that traditional country is alive and well.
