Am             C
I live on cold mountain
    G             D
I am one with the sky, yeah.
Am            C            G            D
And I wave my hands as the planes fly by.
Am             C          G           D
And autumn up here is my favorite time,
Am                     C
'Cause there ain't no leaves falling,
       G            D
Ain't no saying goodbye.

D

Am      C                     G    D
Absence makes the heart forget.
Am       C               G    D
But it ain't workin' yet.

D
Now you tell me something:
Am         C           G               D
What is a heart if it ain't made to feel?
Am         C              G              D
What is a world if there ain't nothing real?
Am         C            G              D
What is a nest, if the bird... she has flown?
Am         C           G          D
What is a life if you live all alone?

D

Am    C                     G   D
Absence makes the heart forget.
Am      C               G   D
But it ain't workin' yet.

      Am        C                      G     D
And I know in a while that I will be strong.
Am             C              G      D
How come it's taking so long?
        Am         C                  G    D
Oh, the stars they are beloved and bright.
         Am                    C
Still the darkness... still the darkness
       G         D
Lasts all night.
       Am              C            G    D
And the wind sings a comforting song.
Am         C            G      D
Why is it taking so long?

D

Am     C                        G    D
Absence makes the heart forget.
Am     C                        G    D
Absence makes the heart forget.
