[Intro]
F    C    F    C
F

[Verse 1]
  C
I used to kneel beside my bed 
at night when I was small
G      Am
It was easy as breathing, 
believing wasn't hard at all
G  F                        G
 I knew that You were there close 
as my next prayer
    C
The world it'll break you 
down, break your heart
                    G    Am
And shake your faith but now
 you feel so far away
Am
I don't know who's to blame
G       F                  
I don't talk to You as much, 
               G
maybe that's part of growing up

[Chorus]
  F                           G
I carry on this one way conversation
    C             Em              Am
I'm listening but You don't say a word
        F                      
If your answer's in the silence,
          G
 I'll be patient
         C               Em     
But it's hard to know my prayers 
             Am
are being heard
    F                   
I'm waiting on a whisper,
       G
 just something
 to confirm that
          F            
You and me are still on 
 G          C    F
speaking terms

[Verse 2]
  C
I mostly come around now when
 things aren't working out
G  Am
 I show up with my questions, 
my stumbles, and my doubts
G       F                  
 Always thinking of myself,
            G
 and always asking You for help

If your answer's in the silence,
          G
 I'll be patient
         C               Em     
But it's hard to know my prayers
             Am
 are being heard
    F                    
I'm waiting on a whisper,
      G

You and me are still on speaking terms
