Am   G   Dm


Verse 1:
Am   G         Fmaj9            Am     G         Fmaj9
   I am a woman haunted by hands  even though I'm alone
Am           G     Fmaj9        Cadd9
   Traces of palm lay across my skin
    Am        G     Fmaj9
An invisible map of where you've been
Am                   G            F                      Am
   It's dry road to Idaho, a thirsty tongue across the land
    G          F
And soil so dry it could swallow an entire man
Am                            G           F                   C/E
   Took the first road out of town hoping you were just skin deep
       Am                        G
But I feel you like some sort of phantom limb
F

  Beside me when I sleep


Chorus:
C                G         Am
  'Cause you are here when gone
        Am        C
You are here when gone
        G/B       Am
You are here when gone
                  Am   G  Fmaj9
You are here when gone


Verse 2:
Am                 G       F
   I watch another gray day unfold it's dusty wings
Am             G                    F
   Sometimes I wish I were more like rocks and stones and things
Am           G              F              C/E
   Sometimes I wish my heart were not like flowers at all
Am             G                      F
   That way I would not get butterflies when you call


Verse 3:
Am                   G
   Your absence undermines the landscape
     F                                   C/E
Incomplete without your body like a pillar holding up the sky
Am               G
   My body thirsty for your touch
F
  There's no use wondering why


Chorus:
C                G         Am
  'Cause you are here when gone
       Am        C
You're here when gone
        G/B       Am
You are here when gone
Am                   Dm
Here here here when gone


Verse 4:
         Dm
And some birds abandon the nest
           Am
'Cause the instinct is too strong to fly
F
  Sometimes I feel like abandoning my guitar and my books
F
  And I'm afraid that I know why
     F
I'm afraid that I know why


Chorus:
C                G         Am
  'Cause you are here when gone
       Am                   C
You're here here here when gone
        G/B       Am
You are here when gone
Am                   C
Here here here when gone
        C
You are here
         G/B
You are here
            Am
You are here
                    Am  G  F
Here here here when gone


Outro:
  Am        G       F
Oh, your kiss lingers on my lips
   F      Dm
It linger
