Be Near Me

I've [Em7]lived the lo[C]ngest da[G]ys
Thinking my h[Em7]eart was [C]so ba[G]d
Too s[Em7]cared to lo[C]ok in Your f[G]ace
Oh, if o[Em7]nly I[C] ha[G]d

Is it alrig[D]ht if I st[Em]ay here all night
by the s[C]horeline?

I c[Em7]annot beli[C]eve You are an[G]gry or u[D]njust
You have d[Em7]one nothing[C] but have [G]compassion on [D]us
S[Em7]o be nea[C]r when I've g[G]iven u[D]p
[Em7]Be near me.[G]..

I'm j[Em7]ust like [C]everyone e[G]lse;
we are [Em7]all [C]hidin[G]g
Acting [Em7]like I h[C]ave a we[G]alth
of know[Em7]ledge and [C]peac[G]e

But [Em7]all I[C]'ve ever [G]wanted
and what [Em7]men have giv[C]en their lives f[G]or
Is a [Em7]GOD who [C]understand[G]s my weak[Em7]nesses,
a G[C]od that I can[G] love
