Verse 1
C Am F
I found God on the corner of First and Amistad
G C
Where the west was all but won
Am F
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
G C
I said, “Where you been?” He said, “Ask anything.”
Chorus
F C G
Where were you when everything was falling apart?
F C G
All my days were spent by the telephone
F C G
That never rang and all I needed was a call
F C G
That never came to the corner of First and Amistad
Verse 2
C Am F
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
G C
Lying on the floor surrounded
Am F G
Why’d you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
C
Just a little late
Chorus
F C G

That never came to the corner of First and Amistad
Bridge
Am F
In the end, everyone ends up alone
G C
Losing her, the only one who’s ever known
Am F
Who I am, who I’m not, and who I wanna be
G C
No way to know how long she will be next to me
Chorus
F C G
Where were you when everything was falling apart?

All my days were spent by the telephone

That never rang and all I needed was a call

That never came to the corner of First and Amistad
