Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 I follow all the rules

 Well, at least I'm trying

 Hoping when my days are through

You'll be pleased

 I've lived the longest days

 Thinking my heart was so bad

 Too scared to look in Your face

 Oh, if only I had

Pre-chorus

 Is it alright if I stay here all night

 by the shoreline?

Chorus

 I cannot believe You are angry or unjust

 You have done nothing but have compassion on us

 So be near when I've given up

Be near me...

 I'm just like everyone else;

 we are all hiding

 Acting like I have a wealth

 of knowledge and peace

 But all I've ever wanted

 and what men have given their lives for

 Is a GOD who understands my weaknesses,

 a God that I can love

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

 I believe You are good and righteous

 You've given me Your reckless love

So be near, be near

Repeat Pre-chorus

Repeat Chorus 2xs (first time soft, then heavy)

Ending

Be near,

be near me

End on G
