[Chorus]
                    Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
                 G
Waiting by the river
                 D                   A
I’ve been on my own praying like a sinner
                       Bm
You’ve been gone too long
                      G
I’m waiting out the winter
                  D
I’ve been on my knees 
         A
Praying like 
                  Bm
Praying like a sinner

[Verse 1]
           Bm                     
Well you built this city right in me
    G                     
And brick by brick and piece by piece 
     D                                  A
And love in both in your hands tried to make an honest man
             Bm                      
From when I woke until I went to sleep
       G                          D
You planned my life so carefully, sculpted me like clay
        A
I could see you in my face
      Bm                G                  D                A
And I never thought I’d live this life without your guiding light


[Chorus]
                    Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
                 G
Waiting by the river
                 D                   A
I’ve been on my own praying like a sinner
                     Bm
You’ve been gone too long
                     G
I’m waiting out the winter
                      D
And I’ve been on my knees 
         A
Praying like 
                 Bm  G  D  A
Praying like a sinner


[Verse 2]
      Bm
And I heard the walls are paper thin 
     G
from where you are to where I am
    D                            A
But I don’t feel a thing, if you are, keep pulling strings
    Bm
And send on down a message please
G
Light a bulb or haunt my dreams
D                               A
I’d just like to know, that you hear me that you're close
      Bm                G                   D               A
And I never thought I’d live this life without your guiding light


[Chorus]
                    Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
                 G
Waiting by the river
                 D                   A
I’ve been on my own praying like a sinner
                     Bm
You’ve been gone too long
                     G
I’m waiting out the winter
                      D
And I’ve been on my knees 
         A
Praying like 
                 Bm  G  D  A
Praying like a sinner


[Bridge]
            Bm           G
You’ve been gone for too long
   D    A
OooOhh whoa-ohh
            Bm           G
You’ve been gone for too long
   D     A
OoooOhh whoa-ohh


[Chorus]

I’ve been on my own praying like a sinner
                     Bm
You’ve been gone too long
                     G
I’m waiting out the winter
                      D
And I’ve been on my knees 
         A
Praying like 

                    Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
                 G
Waiting by the river

I’ve been on my own praying like a sinner
                     Bm
You’ve been gone too long
                     G
I’m waiting out the winter
                      D
And I’ve been on my knees 
         A
Praying like 
                 Bm  G  D  A
Praying like a sinner

[Outro]
                    Bm
I’ve been throwing stones
                 G
Waiting by the river
                 D                   A
