Lyrics

(D7sus)I (C)found God on the cor (Gsus)ner of First and Am (Fsus2)i stad

(D7sus)All a lone,

smok ing his last (Fsus2)cig a rette.

I said, (D7sus)“Where you been?”

He said, “Ask an y (Fsus2)thing.”

(D7sus)Where (C)were you

when ev (G)’ry thing was fall ing (F)a part?

(Dm)All (Em)my days

were spent by a tel (F)e phone that (Dm)nev (Em)er rang,

and all I need ed was (F)a call that (Dm)nev (Em)er came to the cor (G)ner of First and Am i stad.

(Am)Lost and in se cure,

you found me, you found me.

(Am)Ly ing on the floor,

sur round ed, sur round ed.

(Am)Why’d you have to wait?

Where were you, where were you?

(Am)Just a lit tle late,

you found me, you found me.

(Dm)In (Em)the end,

ev ’ry one ends up (F)a lone.

(Dm)Los (Em)ing her,

the on ly one who’s ev (F)er known

(Dm)who (Em)I am, who I’m not and who I want (F)to be.

No (Dm)way (Em)to know

You got some kind of nerve

tak ing (Am7)all I want.

(Am)Lost and in se cure,

(Am)Ly ing on the floor,

where were you, where were you?

(Am)Lost and in se cure,

you found me, you found me.

(Am)Ly ing on the floor,

sur round ed, sur round ed.

(Am)Why’d you have to wait?

Where were you, where were you?

(Am)Just a lit tle late,

you found me, you found me.

(Am)Why’d you have to wait

to find me, to find me?
