 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,

                                     G                      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!
