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
