 (repeat P2 throughout verse)
  Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead
  The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done
   Well I try to make  you proud, but for crying out loud
   Just  give me a chance to hide away
   Exhaustion  takes over,
 
 
   will this someday be over?
   Fearful  tears  are running down
   The pain  you've laid  don't speak a sound
   Don't take  my heart away from me
   And  they think I fell down...
 
 (same as 1)
  Daddy, don't you love me?
  Then why do you hit me?
  And Momma don't you love me
  Then why do you hurt me?
 (same)
  Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
  Just give me a chance to hide away
  Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?
  :  G - Cm*
 (play softly)
  A teardrop falls from up in the heavens
  Drowning the sorrow of angels on high
  For the least of the hopeless, the helpless, the
  loveless
  My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes
 (two guitars, one playing lick P2, Guitar 2: G - C repeating,
 ending on
  ).
