Jars of Clay - He (Acoustic)

Sounds great with two acoustics, or one that alternates between both lead and
rhythm.  The strumming may be hard to follow, I recommend playing with the song
to get the right beat.  There are quite a bit of slight fills by the lead, but
they're all variations of the chords played by the rhythm.

Guitar 2:

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?

Chorus:
                   
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 ... again

[back to intro, then verse 2, then chorus]

Bridge:

  
A teardrop falls from up in the heavens
  
Drowning the sorrow of angels on high
        
For the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless
   
My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes 

Outro:

                
He loves you, He sees you
   
He knows you, protects you..  (repeated)
