“Never Ever Gone”
My Life’s Been a Country Song (2008)

Thanks to WaynusofUranus

Play a muted version of the third fret barre (G) chord (F shape)
for the G/F. You can also get away with playing the power chords.

One of these [G/F]days I’m gonna write you off
Have this tattoo [G/F]removed once and for all
Wake up smiling[G/F] in another life
Without you taking up [G/F]all the space in my mind
Yeah that just a [G/F]dream I’m living in
Walk out the door and then

Can’t even watch the sunset
Listen to a song
Just when I think I got you licked– wrong
No matter how hard I try to [C/E]turn it off
You keep going on and on
You’re [G/F]never ever gone
You’re never ever gone

Then I think I can [G/F]fool myself for a while
I try to call up a [G/F]friend but then I start to dial
There’s a numbe[G/F]r ticklin’ my finger tips
I say your name I didn’t[G/F] mean to it just kinda slipped
I laugh it of[G/F]f like I don’t care
But who am I kidding I swear

Can’t even watch the sunset
Listen to a song
Just when I think I got you licked– wrong
No matter how hard I try to [C/E]turn it off
You keep going on and on
You’re [G/F]never ever gone
[G/F]You’re never ever gone

Solo: F C F Am F C

NC F
Can’t even watch the sunset
Listen to a song
Just when I think I got you licked– wrong! Wrong!
No matter how hard I try to [C/E]turn it off
You keep going on and on
You’re [G/F]never ever…
Are you ever [G/F]gonna leave me alone[G/F]
[G/F]You’re never ever gone
[G/F]You’re never ever gone
You’re never ever gone

Here’s the Capo III version:

It’s not as accurate sounding, but it’s a good alternative
for beginners.

One of these days I’m gonna write you off

Have this tattoo removed once and for all

Wake up smiling in another life

Without you taking up all the space in my mind

Yeah that just a dream I’m living in
Walk out the door and then

Can’t even watch the sunset
Listen to a song
Just when I think I got you licked– wrong
No matter how hard I try to turn it off
You keep going on and on
You’re never ever gone
You’re never ever gone

Then I think I can fool myself for a while

I try to call up a friend but then I start to dial

There’s a number ticklin’ my finger tips

I say your name I didn’t mean to it just kinda slipped

I laugh it off like I don’t care
But who am I kidding I swear

Can’t even watch the sunset
Listen to a song
Just when I think I got you licked– wrong
No matter how hard I try to turn it off
You keep going on and on
You’re never ever gone
You’re never ever gone

You’re never ever…

You’re never ever gone
You’re never ever gone
You’re never ever gone
