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,

                      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!
