Where’ve You Been – Kathy Mattea (2019) [Intro] | GEm7 • | C • • • | | CCmaj7 D7/C | G • • • | [Verse 1]
D                   Am       D/F#
 Claire had all but,  given up

     C/G     G     D/F#    Em7
When she and Edwin fell in love

D                Dsus4 D   Am              D/F#
 She touched his face,       and shook her head

   C/G  G        D9/F#      B7
In disbelief she sighed and said

Am                   G/B      Bm
 In many dreams I've held you near

C       G/B         Am     D7sus4
 Now at last you're really here
[Chorus]
G         Em7 C    Cmaj7
Where've you  been

     C                 Cmaj7 D7/C  G
I've looked for you forever  and a day

G        Em7 C
Where've you been

Em             Em7       D7/F#   G
I'm just not myself when you're away
[Verse 2]
D                      Am       D/F#
 He asked her for her hand for life

    C/G   G      D/F#       Em7
And she became a salesman's wife

D                 Am7        D7/F#
 He was home each night by eight

        C/G    G        D9/F#  B7
But one stormy evening, he was late

Am                          G/B      Bm
 Her frightened tears fell to the floor

C          G/B        Am     D7sus4
 Until his key turned in the door
[Chorus]
G         Em7 C    Cmaj7
Where've you  been

     C                 Cmaj7 D7/C  G
I've looked for you forever  and a day

G        Em7 C
Where've you been

Em             Em7       D7/F#   G
I'm just not myself when you're away
[Interlude] | Cmaj7Cmaj7 D7/F# | G • • • | [Bridge]
Cadd9
 They'd never spent a night apart

    Em
For sixty years she heard him snore

C                     
Now they're in a hospital

G/B Am                         D Am7/D D7
 In separate beds on different floors
[Verse 3]
D                     Am   D/F#
 Claire soon lost her memory

   C/G     G        D/F# Em7
Forgot the names of family

D                   Am7   D7/F#
 She never spoke a word again

C/G      G        D9/F#       B7
Then one day they wheeled him in

Am                    G/B         Bm
 He held her hand and stroked her hair

C       G/B     Am      D7sus4
 In a fragile voice she said
[Chorus]
G         Em7 C    Cmaj7
Where've you  been

     C                 Cmaj7 D7/C  G
I've looked for you forever  and a day

G        Em7 C
Where've you been

C              Cmaj7     D7/C    Em9
I'm just not myself when you're away
[Outro]
    D                                Cmaj7
No, I'm just not myself when you're away
