Coming Back to life Chords and lyrics
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 a heavenly ride through our silence
Am Bb
I knew the waiting had begun
Am7 G C
And headed straight… Into the shining sun
