Rich Mullins – Hard To Get (Guitar)

G               D
You who live in heaven 

         Cadd9                           Dsus    D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth 

         G              D                Cadd9
Who are afraid of being left by those we love 

           Em7           Dsus    D
And who get hardened in the hurt 

   Am           G                   Cadd9
Do you remember when You lived down here 

           Dsus    D
where we all scrape 

   Am                G             Cadd9
To find the faith to ask for daily bread 

     Am          G             D/F#           G 
Did You forget about us after You had flown away 

       Am         G            Cadd9
Well I memorized every word You said

Am                       G            Cadd9
  Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath

      Am                   Dsus    D       G
While You're up there just playing hard to get 

G               D
You who live in radiance

         Cadd9                           Dsus    D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin 

          G                 D                   Cadd9
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was 

         Em7           Dsus    D
But still we do love now and then 

    Am            G
Did You ever know loneliness 

    Cadd9        Dsus  D
Did You ever know need

       Am                G                Cadd9
Do You remember just how long a night can get? 

    Am              G 
When You are barely holding on 

    D/F#                G
And Your friends fall asleep 

          Am                   G              Cadd9
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat 

    Am                 G                Cadd9
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted 

     Am                    Dsus    D       G
While You're up there just playing hard to get? 

C                          G
   And I know you bore our sorrows 

Am7                        G
   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      C
At the One who loves me most 

Am     G           D/F#          G 
   And after I have figured this song out

Am                     Dsus   D
   What I really need to know

      G               D
Is if You who live in eternity

         Cadd9                            Dsus   D
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time 

   G                D
We can't see what's ahead 

          Cadd9           Em7             Dsus    D
And we can not get free from what we've left behind

    Am                 G               Cadd9           Dsus   D
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears

        Am                 G                Cadd9 
All these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret

  Am                   G            D/F#               G
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here 

          Am             G             Cadd9
To where I'm lost enough to let myself be led 

    Am                  G           Cadd9
And so You've been here all along I guess 

              Am                Dsus        D      G
It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
