	        Intro 
 
Finally (A) got that prom(D)otion I (E) worked hard to (A) get 
The one that came with a (D) company (E) car 
When they (A) gave me the (D) keys 
They said, (E) 'son you can (A) bet 
Keep it up and you'll (D) really go (A) far' 
But what good is all that (E) knowin' 
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is go(D)ne 
 
My good (A) friends come a(D)round, to hang (E) out now and (A) then 
And they joke, 'Man, you (D) sure got it (E) hard 
With this (A) house on the (D) hill  
And a (E) white picket (A) fence 
And the grass sure is (D) green in the (A) yard 
But what good is all that (E) knowin' 
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is (D) gone

Well I (A) squandered my (D) time tryin' to (E) buy her every(A)thing 
Gave her all that I (D) thought she deser(E)ved 
Now I (A) know all the (D) things 
That she (E) wanted were (A) free 
And I shoulda been (D) home holdin' (A) her 
But what good is all that (E) knowin' 
The best (A) thing that I had (E) goin' is (D) gone 
Is gone...
