Verse 1
(E minor) (D major) (E minor) (F sharp minor) (E minor) (D major) (F sharp major) (F sharp minor) (B minor)
(E minor) There's a time when a (G major) big sis (D major) ter might end (F sharp major)
Know the way, (E minor) the road may rise
(G major) The (D major) road, (F sharp major) it may rise (B minor)
She might (E minor) look to the left,
might (D major) look to the right
But she (F sharp major) can't see the hand
(B minor) She (E minor) was supposed to (G major) hold tight
(D major) the hand she (F sharp major) was holding tight. (B minor)
Where were (G major) you, where (D major) were you, (F sharp major)
when (B minor) the road rose (G major) an (D major) d the
swell (F sharp minor) it broke? (B minor)
Where were (G major) you,
(D major) when the period (F sharp minor) didn't hold (B minor) ,
when (G major) one little heart
and (D major) two little hearts it (F sharp minor) froze? (B minor)
(E minor) (D major) (E minor) (A major) (B minor) (E minor)
There's a (G major) time when a mother
does (D major) n't want to say
(F sharp major) goodbye to her child (B minor)
She says, (G major) I'll see you soon,
(D major) I'll see you (F sharp major) in a little while
(B minor) And then a (G major) knock at the door
and she's (D major) crumpling down (F sharp major) the wall
Shouting (B minor) out (G major) her baby boy's (D major) name
down (F sharp major) the hall
(B minor) Where were (G major) you?
(D major) Where were you? (F sharp minor)
(B minor) With no warning (G major) smell
(D major) and the windows (F sharp minor) all shut in (B minor) side
Where were (G major) you?
(D major) And a promising boy, (F sharp minor) he closed his (B minor) eyes
He fell asleep (G major) on the (Asus4) job,
(D major) never again (F sharp major) to rise
(B minor) There's a (G major) time when a woman,
she holds (D major) (F sharp major) her (F sharp minor) breath
(B minor) Waiting on (G major) the results
of (D major) that nex (F sharp major) t test
(B minor) Waiting for (G major) a sound to (D major) jump out
of (F sharp major) the (F sharp minor) screen
It's (B minor) a (G major) hope in the heartbeat
(D major) that is never (F sharp major) gonna be
Where (G major) were you, where (D major) were (F sharp minor) you
When (B minor) two hearts (G major) faded
and (D major) one you (F sharp minor) did choose
(B minor) Where were (G major) you
when (D major) nature (F sharp minor) took (F sharp major) its course? (B minor)
When she was (G major) holding her empty wom (D major) b,
her full breast (F sharp minor) was still (B minor) moist
Where were (G major) you? (D major)
(F sharp minor) Where were you?
(B minor) Where were (G major) you at (D major) (F sharp minor) the (B minor) gates
(G major) when you let these (D major) little ones,
these (F sharp minor) little (F sharp major) ones pass (B minor) first?
Where were (G major) you
in (D major) the grief (F sharp minor) that you caused? (B minor)
You were (G major) stolen little dream (D major) s
and now faith, (F sharp minor) faith is lost
(B minor) Oh (F sharp major) -oh -oh -oh -oh (B minor) -oh
Oh -oh -oh (F sharp major) -oh -oh -oh
Oh -o (B minor) h -oh -oh -oh
Oh -o (F sharp major) h -oh -oh -oh -o (B minor) h
Home, (F sharp major) home, home (B minor)
