[Intro] Am G Dm 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
