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
 I knew that You were there 
                 G
close as my next prayer
    C
The world it'll break you down, 

break your heart
                    G
And shake your faith but now 
Am
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
I carry on this one way 
G
conversation
    C             Em
I'm listening but You don't 
      Am
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             G
You and me are still on 
         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

[Chorus]
     F
So I carry on this one way 
G
conversation
    C             Em
I'm listening but You don't 
      Am
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             G
You and me are still on 
         Am   G  F
speaking terms

[Interlude]
Am  G  F    Em

[Bridge]
F
Even though I know You're 
G
more than I deserve
  F               Am  G
I want to get back to how we were

[Chorus]
     F
So I carry on this one way 
G
conversation
    C             Em
I'm listening but You don't 
      Am
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             G
You and me are still on 
         Am
speaking terms
G          Em       F
Yeah, that You and me are still 
   G
on speaking terms
