♫ Verse 1:

   A#m7                                             C#maj7
If only the drinks understood what I’ve been through
            F#sus2
If only my attempts to blot you out didn’t hurt my health
   A#m7                                    C#maj7
If only I learned how to love what I died to
     F#sus2
Then maybe I’d learn how to hate what I do to myself

♫ Pre-Chorus:

          A#m7
‘Cause I remember trips we took
              C#maj7
Like we just got home yesterday
    F#sus2
I revisit our old pictures

Like the headstone on our grave
  A#m7
I remember gifts I gave you
        C#maj7
On your birthday at the beach
      F#sus2
The engraving on your watch
                A#m7       F#sus2
That marked our anniversary

♫ Chorus:

                 A#m7
When does the healing start?
                                 C#maj7
How long do I have to feel this low?
              F#sus2
Why don’t I protect my heart?
                                 F#sus2
I can’t remember ever feeling so alone

♫ Verse 2:

A#m7                                          C#maj7
Why doesn’t God show His face when I need Him to?
F#sus2
I wish I had the strength to ask Him where He went
A#m7                                                     C#maj7
‘Cause then maybe He’d welcome me home, like a father would
    F#sus2
And maybe I wouldn’t be sitting here, oh, so spent

♫ Pre-Chorus:

         A#m7
‘Cause I remember back in Sunday school
     C#maj7
That He was in control
    F#sus2
So I confessed Him with my mouth

But that was fourteen years ago
    A#m7
I remember nights when I would cry
  C#maj7
Alone beneath the moon
       F#sus2
Oh, if only I could find the strength
   A#m7                     F#sus2
To ask Him, “Where were You ”

♫ Chorus:

                 A#m7
When does the healing start?
                                 C#maj7
How long do I have to feel this low?
              F#sus2
Why don’t I protect my heart?
                                 F#sus2
I can’t remember ever feeling so alone

{Instrumental]


♫ Chorus:

                 A#m7
When does the healing start?
                                 C#maj7
How long do I have to feel this low?
              F#sus2
Why don’t I protect my heart?
                                 F#sus2
I can’t remember ever feeling so alone

♫ Outro:

    A#m7                                     C#maj7
If only I’d seen how you looked when I told you
     F#sus2
That I wouldn’t leave you no matter how dark it got
     A#m7                                 C#maj7
Then maybe I’d have seen it coming, my lover
      F#sus2                                    A#
Maybe I’d have avoided becoming somebody I’m not
