_ [G] You [D] live in heaven, [Em] hear the prayers of [C] those of us who [G] live [D] on earth, who [G] are afraid of
[D] being left by [Em] those we love and who get hardened [G] by [D] the hurt.
[Am] Do you [G] remember when you lived [C] down here where [D] we all scraped [Am] to find the [G] faith to ask for [C] daily bread? _
[G] [C] Did you forget [G] about us [D] after you had [G] flown away?
[Am] Well, I memorized [G] every [C] word you said.
[Am] Still, I'm so [G] scared I'm holding [C] my breath _
[G] [Am] while you're up [Gm] there just [D] playing [G] hard to get. _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] You live in radiance, hear the prayers of those of us who [D] live in skin.
We [G] have a love that's not as patient as yours was.
Still, we do [D] love now and then.
[Am] Did you ever [G] know loneliness?
[C] Did you ever [D] know need?
[Am] Do you remember [G] just how long a [C] night can get [G] when [Am] you are [G] barely holding [D] on and your
friends [G] fall asleep [Am] and don't see the [G] blood that's running [C] in your sweat?
[Am] Will those who [G] mourn be left [C] uncomforted _ [G] [Am] while you're up [G] there just [D] playing [G] hard to get?
_ _ [C] _ And I know you [G] mourn our sorrows.
_ [Am] _ And I know you [G] feel our pain.
And _ [C] _ I know it [G] would not hurt any less [Am] _ [G] even if it could [D] be explained.
_ [Em] _ And I [D] know that [G] I am only lashing out at _ [Am] the [G] one who [C] loves me most.
[G] _ [Am] _ [G] And after I [D] figured this [G] somehow, [Am] _ all I really [D] need to know _ [G] is if you live in eternity,
hear the prayers of those of us who live in [D] time.
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] We can't see [D] what's ahead and [G] we cannot get free of what we've left [D] behind. _
[Am] I'm reeling [G] from these voices [C] that keep screaming [D] in my ears.
[Am] All the worlds of [G] shame and doubt, blame [C] and regret. _
[G] [Am] I can't see [G] how you're leaving [D] me unless you [G] let me in.
[Am] Where I'm lost [G] enough to let [C] myself be led.
[Am] And so you've [G] been here all along [C] I guess.
[G] [Am] It's just your ways [G] and you are [D] just playing [G] hard to get. _
