Avril Lavigne
When You're Gone
The Best Damn Thing
2007 RCA records
Submitted by: paramore_fans@yahoo.com
This is one the saddest song in the album, an EMO lyrics. I think this song is about
and Av is really dependent to him and she can't live life without him. When Deryck leaves
without saying goodbye like fading away and his clothes are left on the floor like it
on Verse 2. This song will sure make you cry!!!

Verse 1
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
I always needed time on my own
[C] [D]
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
[C] [D]
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
Pre-chorus
[Am] [G/B]
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
[C] [D]
Do you see how much I need you right now
Chorus
[C] [Em] [D]
When you're gone the pieces of my heart are missing you
[C] [Em] [D]
When you're gone the face I came to know is missing too
[Am] [C]
When you're gone the words I need to hear
[G] [D/F#] [C] [D]
to always get me through the day and make it okay
I miss you
