 Only when you’re gone.  Only when you’re gone
 Only when you’re gone  and away, only when you’re gone
 Gonna need a hammer and nails
 To construct this bitter love  song
 This cruel testament in song
 That rings out only when you’re gone
Rude  are the tongues of love that speak of mercy for us all
 That leave us only with a song
 That leave us only with a song
 Now it’s a cold and hollow whisper
 That consumes my body when you’re  gone
 And it’s only when you’re gone  and away
My  ghost looks (?) in that special way
 It’s a nice hotel,  my hometown
Come  feel the darkness of this prison cell
 I love you long and I love you well
 So bury me in the kitchen,  bury me into stone
 Oh, bury me everywhere you go
 In the shadows of the hallway
 A fall we do not longer know,
 What we can no longer hold
 On days like these our heads fill up with smoke
 And our memories grow old

[Em]

Only when you’re g[Am]one. Only when you’re [Em]gone
Only when you’re [Am]gone and away, only when you’re [Em]gone

Gonna need a hammer and [Am]nails
To construct this bitter [Em]love song
This cruel testament in [Am]song
That rings out only when you’re [Em]gone

[Em]Rude are the tongues of love that speak of mercy for us all
That leave us only with a [Am]song
That leave us only with a s[Em]ong
Now it’s a cold and hollow w[Am]hisper
That consumes my body when you’re[Em] gone

And it’s only when you’re [G]gone and [Bm]away
[Em]My ghost looks (?) in that special way
It’s a nice [G]hotel, my home[Bm]town
[Em]Come feel the darkness of this prison cell

I love you long and I love you well

So bury me in the [Am]kitchen, bury me into [Em]stone
Oh, bury me everywhere you [Am]go
In the shadows of the [Em]hallway

A fall we do not longer k[Am]now,
What we can no longer [Em]hold
On days like these our heads fill up with [Am]smoke
And our memories grow o[Em]ld

 [Am]     [Em]
