Β G D C G D
D G D
A woman my age, sittin? here cryin?
C
I oughta be stronger than I am
G D
Oughta take comfort from wisdom or something like that
G D
But it isn?t that way, ?cause sooner or later
C
I?m still that nervous 9th grader
G D
Watching you pull us together, I never knew how
Β
G
And since you?ve been gone I?m just fallin? apart
D
There?s a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart
C
And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
Em D C
And there?s nothing that?s touching me now
D GΒ D
But not to complain, we?re just bereft, not deserted
C
Lord knows your rest was deserved
G D
It?s just your absence is present in all that I do
G D
In the sun on the field, in the poem I keep saying
C
In the hymn that some church bells were playing
G D
You have always been part of them but I never knew
G
And since you?ve been gone I?m just fallin? apart
D
There?s a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart
C
And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
Em D C
And there?s nothing that?s touching me now
Em D C
It feels like nothing is touching me now
Β Am F
How could I ever begin to say?
G
Surely you already knew
Am F
What is this world with you gone away?
G
How can this finally be true?
G
And since you?ve been gone I?m just fallin? apart
D
There?s a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart
C
And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
Em D
And there?s nothing that?s touching me
G
Since you?ve been gone I?m just fallin? apart
D
There?s a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart
C
And I stare out this window till light becomes dark
Em D C
And there?s nothing that?s touching me now
Em D
It feels like nothing is touching me
Em D
nothing is touching me
Em D
nothing is touching me
Em D
nothing is touching me
Em D C
nothing is touching me now
