Intro: D   G   Em   A  (2x) 
 
D 
All you pretty bags are packed 
G                  A 
Forever sure did go by fast 
D 
I hope you find the skies are blue 
G                          A 
The grass is green and the road is smooth 
 
 
 
 
D                G 
You go your way, c'est la vie sweet baby 
A                  D 
Here's hoping that you don't hate me 
D              G                A            A  Asus4 
Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there 
D                   G 
It ain't about who's right or wrong 
A             D 
Love dies and life goes on 
                G                   A        A   
Had a good thing, but now it's a long gone baby 
Em         A                  D    G   Em   A   
You go your way, and I'll go crazy 
 
 
Verse 2 (same as above chord progression) 
 
I poured some bourbon in a coffee cup 
It's been too long since I drink too much 
So here's to me and here's to the moon 
And here's to love that ends too soon 
 
 
 
D                G 
You go your way, c'est la vie sweet baby

Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there 
D                 G 
It ain't about who's right or wrong 
A              D 
Love dies and life goes on

Had a good thing but now it's a long gone baby

You go your way, and I'll go crazy
