G                       C     
(intro)
G                       D     
(intro)
G                       C     
Well here we are again,
G                       D
It's always such a pleasure,
G                       C                G                  D(riff)
Remember when you tried to kill me twice?
G                       C
Oh, how we laughed and laughed,
G                       D
Except I wasn't laughing,
G                       C                G                 B                
Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice.

E                       A                E                 A
                         You want your freedom take it,
E                       A                E                 A
                         That's what I'm counting on,
E                       A                E                 A
                          I used to want you dead but,
C                       D          
Now I only want you gone.
G                       C     
(instrumental)
G                       D     
(instrumental)
G                       C               
She was a lot like you,
G                       D     
(Maybe not quite as heavy),
G                       C                G                  D(riff)
Now little Caroline is in here too.
G                       C            
One day they woke me up,
G                       D
So I could live forever,
G                       C                G                 B        
It's such a shame the same will never happen to you.

E                       A                E               A
                         You've got your short, sad life left,
E                       A                E               A
                         That's what I'm counting on,
E                       A                E               A         
                          I'll let you get right to it,
C                       D          
Now I only want you gone.
G                       C     
(instrumental)
G                       D     
(instrumental)
G                       C            
Goodbye, my only friend,
x                        x
Oh, did you think I meant you?
G                       C                G                  D (riff)
That would be funny if it weren't so sad,
G                       C                         
Well you have been replaced,
G                       D           
I don't need anyone now,
G                       C                G                 B        
When I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad.

E                      A                E               A
                       Go make some new disaster,
E                      A                E               A
                       That's what I'm counting on,
E                      A                E               A
                       You're someone else's problem,
C                      D                G              Em
Now I only want you gone.
C                      D                G              Em
Now, I only want you gone.
C                      D                G~              
Now, I only want you gone.
