Hard To Get

INTRO: G  D/G  G  C/G  repeat


G               D/G
You who live in heaven 
         C/G                                Dsus
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth 
         G              D                C/E
Who are afraid of being left by those we love 
            C        Em     Dsus
And who get hardened by the hurt 
   Am           G/B                 C                 Dsus
Do you remember when You lived down here where we all scrape 
   Am                G/B           C
To find the faith to ask for daily bread 
C  G/B     Am          G             D/F#           G
       Did You forget about us after You had flown away 
       Am         G/B           C
Well I memorized every word You said
C  G/B  Am                       G/B        C
        Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
C  G/B       Am                   Dsus    D       G   
       While You're up there just playing hard to get

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








C                          G/B
   And I know you bore our sorrows 
Am7                        G   G/B
   And I know you feel our pain
C                          Bm
   And I know it would not hurt any less 
Am        G              D/F#  D
  Even if it could be explained 
Em               D/F#  G
  And I know that I am only lashing out 
       Am              G/B     C
At the One who loves me most 
C  G/B  Am            G             D/F#   G 
          And after I figured this, somehow
Am                      Dsus  D
   All I really need to know

      G               D/G
Is if You who live in eternity
         C/G                                Dsus
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time 
   G                D
We can't see what's ahead 
          C                C          Em     Dsus
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
    Am                 G/B              C               Dsus
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
        Am                 G/B                 C 
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
C  G/B   Am                   G          D/F#                 G
       I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here 
          Am             G/B           C
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led 
C  G/B     Am                  G/B         C
       And so You've been here all along I guess 
C  G/B     Am                         Dsus       D       G
      It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
