C                                    F 
Where were you when I was burned and broken 
          Am              G              F 
While the days slipped by from my window watching 
C                                        F 
Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless 
Am                             G                 F 
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                           Bb 
Dying to believe in what you heard 
Am7                    G                C 
I was staring straight into the shining sun 
 
C                   F 
Lost in thought and lost in time 
          Am                    G                    F 
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted 
   C                           F 
Outside the rain fell dark and slow 
        Am               G                          F 
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime 
Am                                 F 
I took a heavenly ride through our silence 
Am                       Bb 
I knew the moment had arrived 
    Am7                  G              C 
For killing the past and coming back to life 
 
 
 
Am                                F 
I took aheavenly ride through our silence 
Am                     Bb 
I knew the waiting had begun 
Am7                      G                C 
And headed straight... Into the shining sun
