I play this song on Capo 2 and with no intro. During the first verse and pre-choruses I
lightly and then on Chorus first time, I also play lightly. In the actual song, she does
little instrumental break before the Bridge. I just skip that when I play. Anyway, hope
like it! God bless you!
Em7 C G
I follow all the rules
Em7 C G
Well, at least I'm trying
Em7 C G
Hoping when my days are through
Em7 C G
You'll be pleased
Em7 C G
I've lived the longest days
Em7 C G
Thinking my heart was so bad
Em7 C G
Too scared to look in Your face
Em7 C G
Oh, if only I had
Pre-chorus:
D Em
Is it alright if I stay here all night
C
by the shoreline?
Chorus:
Em7 C G D
I cannot believe You are angry or unjust
Em7 C G D
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
Em7 C G D
So be near when I've given up
Em7 G
Be near me...
Em7 C G
I'm just like everyone else;
Em7 C G
we are all hiding
Em7 C G
Acting like I have a wealth
Em7 C G
of knowledge and peace
Em7 C G
But all I've ever wanted
Em7 C G
and what men have given their lives for
Em7 C G Em7
Is a GOD who understands my weaknesses,
C G
a God that I can love
Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Em7 C G
I believe You are good and righteous
Em7 C G
You've given me Your reckless love

So be near, be near
Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus 2xs (first time soft, then heavy)
Ending:
Em7 D
Be near,
Em7 G
be near me
End on G
