Verse: 
C              C  F 
  Calling and calling,  
               C 
And nobody home 
                   C        F 
It feels like I'm falling alone 

Am           C  F 
   Out on an Island,  
                   Am 
S.O.S. on the beach 
                C        F 
Watching your plane pass over me 


Pre-Chorus 
               G 
How could you miss me? 
         Am           F 
With my hands in the air 

                    G 
I thought you were listening 
    C               F 
I thought you'd be there! 

 
 C     G   C 
Where were you? 
                  G 
When I had no one to turn to 

 C     G    C 
Where were you? 
                          G 
When my worst fears were coming true 

 C     G    C 
Where were you? 
                        G               C   F 
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,  
                     Am 
On the path I'd been on  
                                   F 
But you say you've been here all along,  
      Am 
Woh oh 

                    F 
If you really loved me,  
                  Am 
Like nobody el-el-else 
                      F 
Why was I walking to hell 


Pre-Chorus 
               G 
How could you miss me? 
         Am           F 
With my hands in the air 

                    G 
I thought you were listening 
        C               F 
Oh, I thought you'd be there! 


 F         Am 
Where were you? 
     C            G 
When I had no one to turn to 

 F         Am 
Where were you? 
     C                    G 
When my worst fears were coming true 

 F         Am 
Where were you? 
    C                   G                F 
I thought you'd come to my rescue-oo-oo-oooo 


BREAK: 
         Dm 
When my prayers bounced off the ceiling 
       C 
I was facing down my demons 
         F 
When my legs gave up beneath me 
       G 
And I fell into your arms 

 
 G         C 
Where were you? 
    Em            G 
When I had no one to turn to 

G               Am 
You carried me through 
C                   G 
On your shoulders, black and blue 

   G    Am 
I never knew 
     Em                G                  C   F 
The footprints in the sand were you-oo-oo-ooo 
       F   C   F 
Were yoooooouuuuuuu 


OUTRO: 
C             C   F 
  One set of footprints,  
                     Am 
On a path I'd been on 
                      C          F 
Now I know they were yours all along
