Em               D             C
Somewhere in between here and heaven

Somewhere in between where and why
Em             D        C
Somewhere in another dimension
Em             D           C
I can hear you asking me why

Tell me can you hear me I’m calling
Tell me you can hear me, don’t cry
Tell me that you’re not feeling lonely
Somewhere in between where and why

Somewhere at the crossroads of why
Somewhere in another dimension
I can hear you asking me why
Why?
