            Dm                  G
I've been wandering around the house all night
C                             Csus4
Wond'ring what the hell to do
      C     Dm                      G                      C Csus4 C
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
           Dm                         G
Well, the phone don't ring cause my friends ain't home
C                           Csus4  C
I'm tired of being all alone
         Dm               A#              G
Got the TV on, cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you

Chorus:
                 Dm   F
Baby when you're gone
                  C   G
I realize I'm in love
               Dm  F
Days go on and on
                          C  G
And the nights just seem so long
                            Dm F
Even food don't taste that good
                            C   G
Drink ain't doing what it should
                     Dm  A#
Things just feel so wrong
                   G
Baby, when you're gone

I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Yeah, I'm looking for a familiar face
But there's no one I know
Oh, this is torture, this is pain
It feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon
Cause I don't know what to do

Chorus:
Baby, when you're gone (When you're gone)
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on (On and on)
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Oh yeah
Baby, when you're gone

Oh, baby, when you're gone

Chorus:
Oh, baby, when you're gone (When you're gone)
I realize I'm in love (You're in love)
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good (Ohh)
Drink ain't doing what it should
Ah, things just feel so wrong (So wrong)
Baby, when you're gone (Yeah, you're gone)

Oh, baby, when you're gone
Yeah, baby, when you're gone
