  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
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
  Am                                 G              Fmaj7
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
               Am                   F
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Am                            A#
Dying to believe in what you heard
       Am              G                 C
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside, the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

         Am                        F
I took aheavenly ride through our silence
            Am           A#
I knew the waiting had begun
     Am             G                 C
And headed straight into the shining sun
