Intro: A E A  Dadd9 x 2

A               E
You who live in heaven 
         Dadd9                           Esus    E
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth 
         A              E                Dadd9
Who are afraid of being left by those we love 
           F#m7           Esus    E
And who get hardened by the hurt 

   Bm           A                   Dadd9                 
Do you remember when You lived down here 
           Esus    E
where we all scrape 
   Bm                A             Dadd9
To find the faith to ask for daily bread 
     Bm          A             E/G#           A 
Did You forget about us after You had flown away 
       Bm         A            Dadd9
Well I memorized every word You said
Bm                       A            Dadd9
  Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
      Bm                   Esus    E       A   
While You're up there just playing hard to get 

 A  E  A   Dadd9  
   
A               E
You who live in radiance
         Dadd9                           Esus    E
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin 
          A                 E                   Dadd9
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was 
         F#m7           Esus    E
Still we do love now and then 
    Bm            A
Did You ever know loneliness 
    Dadd9        Esus  E
Did You ever know need
       Bm                A                Dadd9
Do You remember just how long a night can get? 
    Bm              A 
When You were barely holding on 
    E/G#                A
And Your friends fall asleep 
          Bm                   A              Dadd9
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat 
    Bm                 A                Dadd9 
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted 
     Bm                    Esus    E       A
While You're up there just playing hard to get? 



D                          A
   And I know you bore our sorrows 
Bm7                        A   
   And I know you feel our pain
D                          C#m
   And I know it would not hurt any less 
Bm        A              E/G#  E
  Even if it could be explained 
F#m               E/G#  A
  And I know that I am only lashing out 
       Bm              A      D
At the One who loves me most 
Bm     A           E/G#          A 
   And after I have figured this, somehow
Bm                     Esus   E
   All I really need to know

      A               E
Is if You who live in eternity
         Dadd9                            Esus   E
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time 
   A                E
We can't see what's ahead 
          Dadd9           F#m7             Esus    E
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
    Bm                 A               Dadd9           Esus   E
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
        Bm                 A                Dadd9 
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret

  Bm                   A            E/G#               A
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here 
          Bm             A             Dadd9
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led 
    Bm                  A           Dadd9
And so You've been here all along I guess 
              Bm                Esus        E      A
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
E A  Dadd9  A
