[G#m] [B] I never do this song.
[D] [A] It's [E] just so [B] kind of personal and I guess it's a, you know, it's not [A] exactly an [G#m] uplifting number.
[E] [B]
[Bm] I used to never care, I used to when I was younger, no matter how emotional [A] and personal the song was,
I would always, [E] [B] something happens when you get older and you're just less inclined to, you know, bellyache [A] in front of strangers.
[E] [G#m] That's why you get married, [B] so you can bellyache.
So [B] I [A] hope I'll remember [C] this, I haven't done it in a long time.
It's a song I wrote after my father passed away.
He was [E] 88 and it was not an untimely, it was a blessing for him, but I just revered my father's still doing it.
Anyway, here's the song.
[A]
[E]
[F#m]
[A] [E]
A woman [A] my age, sitting here [E] crying, I ought to be stronger [A] than I am.
I [D]
ought to take [A] comfort from [E] wisdom or something like that, but it isn't that [A] way.
Cause [E] sooner or later, I'm still that nervous [B] knife creator.
[D] Watching [A] you pull us together, I [E] never knew how.
And [B] since you've been gone, I'm just [E] falling apart.
There's a hole in my life, in my soul, in my [B] heart.
And I stare out this window, till light becomes dark.
And [F#m] there's nothing [E] that's touching [B] me [A] now.
[D] But [E] not to complain, [A]
we're just bereft, not [E] deserted.
The [B] Lord knows your rest was [A] deserved.
[D] It's just [A] your absence is present in all that I do.
In the sun on the [B] field, [A] in the poem I [E] keep saying, in the hymn that some church [A] bells are playing.
[D] You [A] have always been part of them, but [B] I never knew.
And since you've [E] been gone, I'm just falling apart.
There's a hole in my life, in my soul, in my heart.
[B] And I stare out this window, till light becomes dark.
And [F#m] there's nothing [E] that's touching [B] me now.
[D] And it [F#m] feels like nothing is touching [B] me [A]
now.
And [D] [Bm]
how could I ever [A] begin to sing?
[G]
Surely [B] you already know.
[Bm] Now what is this world [A] with you gone away?
[G] And how can this finally [B] be true?
[F#m]
Since you've been gone, I'm just falling [E] apart.
