[VERSE]
C Fmaj7
Where were you when I was burned and broken,
Am G F
While the days slipped by, from my window watching?
C Fmaj7
And Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless?
Am Gadd9 F
Beause the things you say and the things you do surround me
Am7 F
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words,
Am Bb
Dying to believe in what you heard,
Am7 Gsus4 G Csus2
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Csus2 Fsus2 F
Lost in thought and lost in time,
Am G5 F
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Csus2 C Fsus2
Outside the rain fell dark and slow,
Am G Fsus2
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
Am Fsus2
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
Am Bbsus2
I knew the moment had arrived
Am Gsus4 Csus2
For killing the past and coming back to life
