[D]Claire had all but [Am7]given [D]up
When [G4]she and [G]Edwin [D/F#]fell in [Em]love
[D]She touched his face and [Am7]shook her [D]head
In [G4]disbe[G]lief, she [G4]sighed and [B7]said,
[Am7]"In many dreams I've [Bm7]held you near
[C]Now, at [G/B]last, you're [Am7]really [D]here."
[G]"Where've [Bm7]you [Am7]been?
I've [C]looked for you for[D]ever and a [G]day
[G]Where've [Bm7]you [Am7]been?
[C]I'm just not my[D]self when you're [G]away."

And [G4]she be[G]came a [D/F#]salesman's [Em]wife
[D]He was home each [Am7]night by [D]eight
But one [G4]stormy [G]evening, [G4]he was [B7]late
[Am7]Her frightened tears fell [Bm7]to the floor
[C]Until his [G/B]key turned [Am7]in the [D]door.
[G]"Where've [Bm7]you [Am7]been?
I've [C]looked for you for[D]ever and a [G]day

[C]They'd never spent a night apart
For [Em]sixty years she heard him snore
[C]Now they're in a hospital [Am7/B]
[Am]In separate beds on different [D]floors
[D]Claire soon lost her [Am7]memory[D]
For[G4]got the [G]names [D/F#]of [Em]family

[C]In a fra[G/B]gile [Am7]voice she [D]said,
[G]"Where've [Bm7]you [Am7]been?
I've [C]looked for you for[D]ever and a [G]day
[G]Where've [Bm7]you [Am7]been?
[C]I'm just not my[D]self when you're [Em]away."
No, [C]I'm just not my[D]self when you're [G]away." [C] [G]
