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.
