[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

You and me are still on

speaking terms
[Interlude]

Even though I know You're more
than I deserve

I want to get back to how
we were

I'm listening but You don't say a word

If your answer's in the silence,
