NONE

VERSE:

Calling and calling,

And nobody home

It feels like I'm falling alone

Out on an Island,

S.O.S. on the beach

Watching your plane pass over me

With my hands in the air

I thought you were listening

I thought you'd come to my rescue-oo-oo-oooo

F Am Dm

Where were you? Ooo oo

VERSE:

Am F

One set of footprints,

On the path I'd been on

But you say you've been here all along,

Woh oh

If you really loved me,

Like nobody el-el-else

Why was I walking to hell

I was facing down my demons

When my legs gave up beneath me

And I fell into your arms

Where were you?

When I had no one to turn to

You carried me through

On your shoulders, black and blue
