  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.
