You Were On The Cross

 
Intro
E/G#

Verse 1
C#m                 G#
Lost, ev'rything is lost
                 A                   E/G#
And ev'rything I've loved before is gone
 C#m                          G#
Alone, like the coming of the frost
        A                        E       G#
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

Chorus 1
A                    E             B
 Where were You when all that I've hoped for
A                    E             B
 Where were You when all that I've dreamed
A                      E         B      A A2 #4 
 Came crashing down in shambles around me
A                   C#m
 You were on the cross

Pain, could You take away the pain
                  A                                    E   G#
If I find someone to blame, would it make my life seem easier
 C#m                      G#
Alone, all my friends are asleep
         A                        E        G#
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

Chorus 2
A                    E            B
 Where were You when sin stole my innocence
A                    E      B
 Where were You when I was ashamed
A            E               B        A A2 #4 
 Hiding in a life I wish I'd never made

A                      E         B
 And You were there in all of my suffering
A                  E           B
 You were there in doubt, and in fear
A                   E       B      A A2 #4  A
 I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear
