                   Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead
                   The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done
Pre-Chorus:               G                              C
                  Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
                        G                   C
                   Just give me a chance to hide away
                   G                    C
                   Exhaustion takes over,
                   G                        C Dsus  Am*  G C Dsus
                   will this someday be over?


                   Chorus:
                   G       C         Dsus    G
                   Fearful tears are running down
                       G           C          Dsus    G
                   The pain you've laid don't speak a sound
                         G       C     Dsus      G
                   Don't take my heart away from me
                       G          C      Dsus
                   And they think I fell down...

                   Again. (repeat intro lick P2)

Verse 2:(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?
Pre-chorus:(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?

                   [Chorus]
                   [Musical Bridge]: G - Cm*

Verse 3:(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

Outro: (two guitars, one playing lick P2, Guitar #2: G - C repeating,
ending on C).
