VERSE 1
            Dm                  G                 C 
I've been wandering around the house all night, wondering what the hell to do
            Dm                        G                     C
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate, but all I can think of is you.
            Dm                        G                     C
Well, the phone don't ring 'cuz my friends ain't home, I'm tired of being all alone.
        Dm               B              G                      
Got the TV on 'cuz the radio's playing songs that remind me of you...


CHORUS
                  Dm  F                   C  G
Baby when you're gone,   I realize I'm in love,
                Dm  F                    C        G
Days go on and on,   and the night seem so-o-o long.
                            Dm   F                            C    G
Even food don't taste that good,   drinking doing what it should,
                    Dm    B                   G
Things just feel so wrong,  baby when you're gone.


VERSE 2
           Dm            G                   C  
I've been driving up and down these streets, tryin' to find somewhere to go.
          Dm                      G                          C  
Yeah, I'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know,
     Dm               G                C                   G  
Oh, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane,
   Dm                  B                     G
I hope you're coming back real soon, 'cuz I don't know what to do...


CHORUS
                  Dm   F                   C  G
Baby when you're gone,   I realize I'm in love,
                Dm  F                    C        G
Days go on and on,    and the night seem so-o-o long.
                            Dm   F                         C    G
Even food don't taste that good,   drinking doing what it should,
                  Dm  B                  G
Things feel so wrong,   baby when you're gone.
