Be Near Me Tab

by Dillon Bethany


I play this song on Capo 2 and with no intro. During the first verse and pre-choruses I
lightly and then on Chorus first time, I also play lightly. In the actual song, she does
little instrumental break before the Bridge. I just skip that when I play. Anyway, hope 
like it! God bless you!

               
I follow all the rules
                   
Well, at least I'm trying
                        
Hoping when my days are through
            
You'll be pleased

                     
I've lived the longest days
                       
Thinking my heart was so bad
                        
Too scared to look in Your face
            
Oh, if only I had

Pre-chorus:
                    
Is it alright if I stay here all night
        
by the shoreline?

Chorus:
                              
I cannot believe You are angry or unjust
                                        
You have done nothing but have compassion on us
                       
So be near when I've given up
        
Be near me...

                    
I'm just like everyone else;
            
we are all hiding
                   
Acting like I have a wealth
                 
of knowledge and peace

              
But all I've ever wanted
                                 
and what men have given their lives for
                           
Is a GOD who understands my weaknesses,
               
a God that I can love

Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
                           
I believe You are good and righteous
                           
You've given me Your reckless love
           
So be near, be near

Repeat Pre-chorus
Repeat Chorus 2xs (first time soft, then heavy)

Ending:
    
Be near,
      
be near me

End on G
