    VERSE:

    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.
