Intro: A G D 

verse 1 
D            Dmaj7 
I tried hard to keep you 
          G 
I needn't have tried 
               A 
It seems you'd decided 
G            A 
When did you decide? 
Dmaj7 
So this is the last time 
      G 
I cry in the dawn 
             D 
It seems you were always 
G           D 
Always already gone

verse 2 
          Dmaj7 
You never were happy 
           G 
You had to be free 
             A 
You took all the freedom 
G          A 
You needed from me 
Dmaj7 
Then you and your freedom 
             G 
Flew thither and yon 
               A 
You're free to be always 
G           D 
Always already gone

verse 3 
           Dmaj7 
I couldn't have dreamed you 
         G 
But I might as well 
             A 
You leave me with only 
G       A 
A story to tell 
Dmaj7 
But at the beginning 
          G 
Our story is done 
                 A 
Because you were always 
G           D       A 
Always already gone 
G           D 
Always already gone
