I heard your record on the telephone, it was my cousin Joan 
              A                C 
She picked it up from the Top 40 Rack and then 
E             Ab           D      G              C         F# 
I read interview in Rolling Stone, You threw the boys a bone 
         A          C 
And so I genuinely felt obliged to call 
E          Ab             D          G              C          F# 
I know you never meant to hurt us man, we're just a baby band 
             A             C 
You found a quicker way to scale the Wall of Fame 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
B               G 
The situation's awfully dim 
B                 G 
Should we up, and go with him...

No way! 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
D                         B                       D 
We know exactly where you are and you're gone, my friend 
D                               B 
Don't know exactly where you're coming from 
       E            A 
You've gone away 
D                         B                       D 
We know exactly where you are and you're gone, my friend 
D                               B 
Don't know exactly where you're coming from 
        G    F#   F 
Have you gone astray? 
Verse: 
E           Ab      D   G               C            F# 
I saw your video on VH1, looks like you spent a ton 
            A              C 
How does it feel to be the flavor for a spell 
E        Ab             D           G       C            F# 
And I remember when you used to say, "Jesus Is The Way," 
        A                     B 
I never thought I'd see your light begin to fade 
(Pre-Chorus) 
(Chorus) 
Bridge:         (No guitar) 
Don't think we don't miss you  (We think about you every day) 
We still love you anyway  (Cause Love don't go away) 
There's still this burning question (I got to know) 
WHY???????? 
E, Ab, D, G, C, F#, A, C  2x
