Dm Gm C F Bb Bb/A A7sus4 A7

Dm Bb Am

Well, it ain't too good the way you treat your man

Dm Bb Am

It's less than good it sure ain't kind

Dm Bb Am

It's your mistake you'll see in time

Bb C Dm Bb C A

When I'm gone When I'm gone

Dm Bb Am

Well, it's been so long since I felt that glow

Dm Bb Am

The flame was bright but it's burning low

I should be gone but I'm slow to go
