Gm
I look around me
    D#
But all I seem to see
   A#
Is people going nowhere
  Cm
Expecting sympathy
                Gm
It's like we're going through the motions
       D#
Of a scripted destiny
         A#
Tell me where's our inspiration
   Cm
If life won't wait
                   D#
I guess it's up to me

Chorus:
D#   A#
Whoa-oh
          Gm                      F              D#
No we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
D#   A#
Whoa-oh
        Gm                  F                D#
And we won't come back the world is calling out
D#   A#
Whoa-oh
           Gm                      F
Leave the past in the past, gonna find the future
    D#
If misery loves company
      Cm              D               Gm
Well so long, you'll miss me when I'm gone (gone)
D#   Cm
(Gone, gone)
              D               Gm
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone (gone)
D#    Cm    D
 (Gone, gone)

Procrastination, running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating
You wound up left for dead (Left for dead)
Life is what happens while you're
busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
And that won't happen to me

Chorus

              D               Gm D# F Gm
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
         Gm D# F Gm
When I'm gone      (let’s go!)

Gm
Won't look back
       D#
When I say goodbye
       A#
Gonna leave this a hole behind me
       F
Gonna take what's mine tonight
            Gm
Cause every wasted day
          D#
Becomes a wasted chance
             A#
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
      Cm
Cause life won't wait
                   D#
I guess it's up to you

Chorus:
Whoa
No, we're not gonna waste another
moment in this town
Whoa
And we won't come back, the world is calling out
Whoa
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company
Well, so long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Oh, oh, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh, oh, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh, oh, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Oh, oh, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
