Am Dm
Hey there Lord it's me
G C
I wondered if you're free
F
Or not asleep
Dm
This just won't keep
E Am
It seems I just don't see
Am Dm
Why all the things we asked
G C
Or prayed would come to pass
F
Have gone unheard
Dm
Like silent words
E Am
That slip into the past
[Chorus]
F
For Lord they're not schemes
Dm
Can't you tell dreams
Am
Why do you
F
Let them slip by
Dm E
Never even tried
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
Is it you don't hear
G C
There's far too many tears
F
Or can't you feel
Dm
Are we unreal
E Am
To one who knows no peers
Am Dm
Say we must pay dues
G C
But still I am confused
F
I need to walk
Dm
And with you talk
E Am
Instead of to statues
[Chorus]
F
For Lord they're not schemes
Dm
Can't you tell dreams
Am
Why do you
F
Let them slip by
Dm E
Never even tried
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
You take all the fame
G C
Who'll accept the blame
F
For all the hurts
Dm
own here on earth
E Am
Unnecessary pain
Am Dm
For surely you must care
G C
Or are you only air
F
Built in our minds
Dm
When we're in binds
E Am
And never really there
[Bridge]
F G Am
And can we be tired of you
F G Am
Is that something that we're allowed to do
F G Am
For even the blind change their views
F G Am
And it's time we tried something new
[Verse 4]
Am Dm
And so I pled my case
G C
I'll now pull my escape
F
Didn't mean to doubt
Dm
What it's about
E Am
Seems I forgot my place
Am Dm
But if you find the time
G C
Please change the story line
F
Or give a call
Dm
Explain it all
E Am
I'll even leave the dime
