Verse 1:
What started as a whisper
Slowly turned into a scream
Searching for an answer 
where the question is unseen
I dont know where you came from
And i dont know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn

Chorus:
C     G
Amen Omen
     Am              F
Will I see your face again
 C    G
Amen Omen
    Am              F
Can I find my place withing 
   C        G    Am     F
To live my life without you

Verse 2:
I still hear you saying
All of life is a chance
And is the sweetest 
When at a glance
But I live a hundred 
Lifetimes in a day
And I die a little
With every breath that i take

CHORUS

Verse 3:
I listen to a whisper 
Slowly drift away
Silence is the loudest 
Parting word you never say
I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy 
Is all that remains

There it is, it should help. Any questions?
