[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jars_of_clay/he_tab.html ]
Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead
The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done
Pre-Chorus: G C
Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
G C
Just give me a chance to hide away
G C
Exhaustion takes over,
G C Dsus Am* G C Dsus
will this someday be over?
Chorus:
G C Dsus G
Fearful tears are running down
G C Dsus G
The pain you've laid don't speak a sound
G C Dsus G
Don't take my heart away from me
G C Dsus
And they think I fell down...
Again. (repeat intro lick P2)
Verse 2:(same as 1)
Daddy, don't you love me?
Then why do you hit me?
And Momma don't you love me
Then why do you hurt me?
Pre-chorus:(same)
Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?
[Chorus]
[Musical Bridge]: G - Cm*
Verse 3:(play softly)
A teardrop falls from up in the heavens
Drowning the sorrow of angels on high
For the least of the hopeless, the helpless, the
loveless
My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes
Outro: (two guitars, one playing lick P2, Guitar #2: G - C repeating,
ending on C).
