I Cant Hear You Tab

by Matthew West


CAPO 4 FOR ACOUSTIC!!

This is track 4 off of Matthew West's CD, "Happy."  It sounds best with an arrangement
of electric guitars, but a single acoustic at capo 4 sounds just fine for a worship
service.  Here is the complete chord sheet for the song...

INTRO:  - (3X) 
REPEAT INTRO

VERSE1:
                                -
   This world is makin' me dizzy -
                                      -
   I can't seem to keep it from spinning
                                   
   This life is screamin' so loud now,
                                    
   And I can't escape from this crowd now -
                                   
It's like I'm climbin' up on the shoulders
                      
In a room full of strangers,
         (hold)
And then everybody walks away...

CHORUS:
                            
Fly high - jump and touch the sky high -
                
Bring me back to life -
                        
I know You're there when I Can't Hear You...
                        
Down now, at the speed of sound now -
                
When I touch the ground now,
                    
You'll be there when I Can't Hear You...

REPEAT INTRO

VERSE2:
(palm mute)                  (strum)-
I am a classic case of dysfunction -
                                      -
I talk and talk, and still I say nothin'
                             
Am I the voice of my generation?
                                      
Is everyone havin' the same conversation?
                               
We're all climbin' up on the shoulders
                      
In a room full of strangers
        (hold)
When we should be reachin' for You...

REPEAT CHORUS

CHANNEL:
                                
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
                           
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
                                
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
                           
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
                                
Do you ever get the feelin' that you're not alone,
                           
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
                                 
Do you ever - do you ever - do you ever...
                              
We're all climbin' up on the shoulders
                      
In a room full of strangers -
          (hold)
We're all reachin'...
(no chords)
Fly high...

Sky high...

Life, I...

I Can't Hear You...

Wherever there is a G-C tablature, there is a quick transition wherever it sounds good
in the song.
