No Capo
Intro: G D G Cadd9 x 2
G D
You who live in heaven
Cadd9 Dsus D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth
G D Cadd9
Who are afraid of being left by those we love
Em7 Dsus D
And who get hardened by the hurt
Am G Cadd9
Do you remember when You lived down here
Dsus D
where we all scrape
Am G Cadd9
To find the faith to ask for daily bread
Am G D/F# G
Did You forget about us after You had flown away
Am G Cadd9
Well I memorized every word You said
Am G Cadd9
Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
Am Dsus D G
While You're up there just playing hard to get
G D G Cadd9
G D
You who live in radiance
Cadd9 Dsus D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
G D Cadd9
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
Em7 Dsus D
Still we do love now and then
Am G
Did You ever know loneliness
Cadd9 Dsus D
Did You ever know need
Am G Cadd9
Do You remember just how long a night can get?
Am G
When You were barely holding on
D/F# G
And Your friends fall asleep
Am G Cadd9
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat
Am G Cadd9
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
Am Dsus D G
While You're up there just playing hard to get?
C G
And I know you bore our sorrows
Am7 G
And I know you feel our pain
C Bm
And I know it would not hurt any less
Am G D/F# D
Even if it could be explained
Em D/F# G
And I know that I am only lashing out
Am G C
At the One who loves me most
Am G D/F# G
And after I have figured this, somehow
Am Dsus D
All I really need to know
G D
Is if You who live in eternity
Cadd9 Dsus D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time
G D
We can't see what's ahead
Cadd9 Em7 Dsus D
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
Am G Cadd9 Dsus D
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
Am G Cadd9
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
Am G D/F# G
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here
Am G Cadd9
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
Am G Cadd9
And so You've been here all along I guess
Am Dsus D G
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
D G Cadd9 G
