 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
