Intro: D  A   D   A 
 
 D                                                                              G          A                             D 
Her birthday came and went without a card or a single I Love You, 
D                                                 G                  A                                   D 
On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two, 
     G                                                                                                                                         D 
 She tries her best to please him , but she never hears one single word of praise, 
          A                                                                                                                       D 
She feels just like a stranger in a home where love has seen it's better days, 
 
                             Chorus:
                                     A                                            
                                         Well, he's takin' her for granted 
 G                                                                         D 
                                           God only knows why she keeps  hangin' on, 
A                                                                               G 
                                            'Cause it's better to be gone,  but not forgotten, 
A                                                           D       A         D 
                                               Than to be forgotten, but not  gone, 
    D                                                                    G                              A                              D 
Somehow he can't remember when he's late to even take the time to call, 
D                                                               A 
And even on the nights he's there, she gets the feelin', he's not there at all, 
G                                                                                                                                   D 
She's become a prisoner in that big old house, where sweet love used to be, 
A                                                                                       D                                   
Well it's not even over, but Lord, she feels just like a memory, 
 
  Repeat chorus 
                A                                                                                G                                     A 
Tag;  'Cause it's better to gone but not forgotten, gone but not forgotten, 
D      A     D 
             Than to be forgotten, but not gone. 
 
     This sounds pretty close, I hope that it helps you out. Have a great day!
