LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Am F C G
What started as a whisper, slowly turned into a scream
Am F C G
Searching for an answer, where the question is unseen
Am F C G
I don't know where you came from, and I don't know where you've gone
Am F C G
Old friends become old strangers between darkness and the dawn
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F C G Am F C G Bb F Ab Bb
Amen omen, can I find the place within to live my life without you?
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
I still hear you saying, all of life is chance
Am F C G
And is sweetest, is sweetest when at a glance
Am F C G
But I live, I live a hundred, hundred life times in a day
Am F C G
But I die a little in every breath that I take
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F C G Am F C G Bb F Ab Bb
Amen omen, can I find the place within to live my life without you?
[Solo]
| Am F | C G | F C G Am | F C G |
[Verse 3]
Am F C G
I listen to a whisper slowly drift away
Am F C G
Silence is a loudest parting word you never say
Am F C G
I put, I put your world into my veins
Am F C G
And now a voiceless sympathy is all that remains
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F C G Am F C G Bb F Ab Bb
Amen omen, can I find the place within to live my life without you?
[Chorus Outro]
F C G Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F C G Am
Amen omen, can I find the place within?
F C G Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F C G Am
Amen omen, can I find the strength within?
