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