Here When Gone

Intro 

Am   G   Dm 
Am   G   Dm 



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 



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 



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 



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 



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 



         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 



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
