[Verse 1]
C#m7
How long must I pray,

E              Badd11
Must I pray to You?

C#m7
How long must I wait,

E               Badd11
Must I wait for You?

Amaj7sus2
How long 'til I see Your face,

E               Badd11
See You shining through?

    Amaj7sus2
I'm on my knees

               Bsus
Begging You to notice me
[Chorus]
E
   One tear in the dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Amaj7sus2
      Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
E
One life: that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
Amaj7sus2
      If You're everything You say You are,

                                         E
Won't You come close and hold my heart?
[Interlude w/ Intro Lick] E [Verse 2]
C#m7
I've been so afraid,

 E                 Badd11
afraid to close my eyes

C#m7                  E            Badd11
So much can slip away before I say goodbye

Amaj7sus2
But if there's no other way,

E               Badd11
I'm done asking why

           Amaj7sus2
'Cause I'm on my knees

               Badd11
Begging You to turn to me

    Amaj7sus2
I'm on my knees

                 Bsus
Father, will You run to me, yeah?
[Chorus]
E
   One tear in the dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Amaj7sus2
      Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
E
One life: that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
Amaj7sus2
      If You're everything You say You are,

                                         E
Won't You come close and hold my heart?
[Bridge]
F#m9
   So many questions without answers

E                Bsus4
   Your promises remain

F#m9
   I can't see, but I'll take my chances

   E                Esus2
To hear you call my name

   E                Badd11
To hear you call my name
[Chorus]
E
   One tear in the dropping rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Amaj7sus2
      Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?
E
One life: that's all I am
Right now I can barely stand
Amaj7sus2
      If You're everything You say You are,

                                         E
Won't You come close and hold my heart?
