F#
The telephone is ringing in the afternoon
B
I was talking to your mother--about you
F#
Yeah we were talking 'bout you
She said you were in the garden where the sunshine blooms
I can see you in the front lawn
B F#
When I'm gone, my heart is with you
B C#
And when I'm gone, my heart is with you
B C# C
And I know, I know I'll always be thinking, thinking about
B C#
I hope you know I always call you my home
B C# Ebm Abm
It don't matter where I'm going or what I do
B C# F#
I always come back, I always come back to you
B C# Ebm Abm
And I've got this funny feeling that I'll be seeing you soon
B C# F#
I always come home, I always come home to you
F#
I live by the freeway on a fabric bench
I wonder when the next that time I'll be fed
B F#
I'm fed up, I'm fed up with this
You're probably sleeping in your plastic house
I can see you in the front room
B F#
When I'm gone, my heart is with you

And when I'm gone, my heart is with you
