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
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 G 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
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
