Gone On Too Long

G                         Bm
It's like the feeling you get when a 20-pound
Em                     C
Hammer slams into your head,
       G                           Bm
Or you come home from work and you find your wife and your best
Em                        C
Friend eatin' crackers in bed.

         Am            C          D
And it's gone..........gone daddy gone.
         Am        C          D
And it's gone..........on too long.

There comes a time when the time that's before you,
Is less than the time that's gone by.
And the people you thought were your friends now ignore you,
And sadly you still don't know why.
The carbon monoxide comes down like a curtain,
And slowly I'm fallin' asleep.
You've heard so many of my threats and promises,
But now I've got one I can keep.

And it's gone..........gone daddy gone.
And it's gone..........on too long.

She asked me to give her the zip code for Waynesboro,
When she should have found it herself.
Once in a past life, she loved me, I know it,
But now that love's back on the shelf.

And it's gone..........gone daddy gone.
And it's gone..........on too long.
And it's gone..........gone daddy gone.
And it's gone..........on too long.
