The beat of this song is just a steady down-up-down-up stroke with mutes at every third stroke: / = down
/ = up (mute)/ down & mute
(i.e. / / (mute)/ / / / (mute)/)
Play comfortably fast
verse
G D Em C G D Em C
I don't know what to do to ease your mind
G D Em C G D Em C
Don't have a perfect word to make it fine
G D Em C G
I'm not so qualified for sympathy
D Em C G
Still I am not without love
(second verse is the same as the first)
Psalm #4 falls on your grieving ear,
Yes I believe the peace of Christ is here
And I'm here in His name,
You'd do the same, you'd do the same, you'd do the same
Chorus
C G
If you let me close
C D Em C
Closer than a brother
Em D Cadd9
If you let me love you we'll sit here and cry
G D Em C G
[: If you let me love you :]
Bridge
D
Never failing; ever hoping
Am
Seeking to preserve
D
It always is giving
Am
Often beyond words
D
And when there's nothing left to
Am
Say, love has a voice,
D Am
So in sorrow, and in heart ache
C
There's a greater joy.
(repeat first verse and chorus)
