[Intro]
G | C Em | [x2]
[Verse]
G
“Is it raining where you are?”
C Em
The only thing I could think to ask
G G
But nothing ever hurt so bad
C Em
As the “no” that you said back
C/B A
But ain't that the truth, man?
C G
Those are just facts
C/B A
The farther you go from where you start
C G
The harder it is to get back
[Chorus]
C D
Love of my life
G Em
Gone forever
C D
Love of my life
G
Gone for good
G
This is for all my friends in West Virginia

[Verse]
G C Em C
The good stuff comes, the good stuff goes
G C Em C
The good stuff seems so hard to hold
G C Em C
Hope it slides slowly down your throat
G C Em
So the taste of it may linger
G C Em C
Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)
G C Em C
On the brink of eruption (like I said!)
G C Em C
Right now I'm just a psycho
G
Hell bent on self-destruction
Em C
Hell bent on self-destruction
G
Hell bent on self-destruction
Em C
Hell bent on self-destruction
[Chorus]
C D
Love of my life
G Em
Gone forever
C D
Love of my life
G
Gone for good

Like a person in paradise
G C Em C
Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)

On the brink of eruption (like I said!)

There ain't no doctor on Earth
(D) Em G
There ain't no lord up above
G C D C D
Who knows a strong enough medicine
(D) Em G
Or a life-saving love
[Solo]
C/B A C G [x2]
[Verse]
(G) C/B A
Like I said I thought I was focused
C G
I thought I had it figured out
C/B A
I had to organize my words good
C G
Before they'd fall right out my mouth
C/B A
And I had learned that the direction
C G
I was walking was so wrong
C/B A
I just need a little help here, man
C G
To find the path I should be on
[Chorus]
C D
Love of my life
G Em
Gone forever

Love of my life
G
Gone for good
C D
Love of my life
G Em
Gone forever
C
Get her back good Lord
D G
Know I wish I could
