[G]You who live in [D/A]Heav-en 
hear the [C]prayers of those of us who live on    
[Dsus]earth[D]
who are a[G]fraid of being [D/A]left by those we [C]love 
and who get [Em7]hardened in the [Dsus]hurt [D]

do [Am]You remember [G/B]when You lived down [C]here
where we all [Dsus]scrape [D]
to [Am]find the faith to [G/B]ask for daily [C]bread [/C /B] 
did [Am]You forget a[G]bout us after
[D/F#]You had flown a[G]way
well, [Am]i memorized [G/B]ev'ry word You [C]said [/C /B]
[Am]still i'm so scared [G/B]i'm hold-ing my
[C]breath [/C /B] while [Am]You're up there just
[Dsus]play-ing [D]hard to [G]get

intro x 2

[G]You who live in [D/A]radiance
hear the [C]prayers of those of us who live in [Dsus]skin[D]
we have a [G]love that's not as [D/A]patient as Yours was[C] 
still we [Em7]do love now and [Dsus]then [D]

did [Am]You ever know [G/B]loneliness
did [C]You ever know [Dsus]need[D]
do You [Am]remember just how [G/B]long
a night [C] can get? [/C /B]
when [Am]You are barely [G]holding on
and [D/F#]Your friends fall a[G]sleep
and don't [Am]see the blood that's
[G/B]running in Your [C] sweat [/C /B]
will [Am]those who mourn be [G/B]left uncom[C]forted [/C /B] 
while [Am]You're up there just
[Dsus]playing [D]hard [G]to get?

[C] and i know you bore our [G/B]sorrows
[Am7] and i [G/B]know you feel our [G]pain [/A /B]
[C] and i know that it would [Bm]not hurt any less 
[Am] even if [G]it could be ex[D/F#]plained [D]
[Em] and i know that [D/F#]i am [G]only lashing out 
[G] at the [Am]One who loves me [C]most [G/B]
[Am] and [G]after i have [D/F#]figured this [G]somehow                     
[Am] what i really need to [Dsus]know[D]

is if [G]You who live in e[D/A]ternity 
hear the [C]prayers of those of us who live in [Dsus]time[D] 
we [G]can't see what's a[D/A]head
and we can [C]not get free from
[Em7]what we've left be[Dsus]hind[D]
i'm [Am]reeling from these [G/B]voices that keep
[C]screaming in my [Dsus]ears[D]
all these [Am]words of shame and [G/B]doubt, blame [C]and
regret [/C /B]

i [Am]can't see how You're [G]leading me
un[D/F#]less You've led me [G]here 
where i'm [Am]lost enough to
[G/B]let myself [C]be led [/C /B]
and [Am]so You've been here [G/B]all along
i [C]guess [/C /B]
it's just Your [Am]ways and You are
[Dsus]just plain [D]hard to [G]get 

intro x2

"now i rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you
were sorrowed unto repentence: for you were made sorry after
a Godly manner... for Godly sorrow works repentence to
salvation not to be repented of." - II Cor. 7:9-10
