To Know You Tab

by Nichole Nordeman


Intro
    
(listen to the timing)

Verse 1

   It's well past midnight
       Bbsus          
   And I'm awake with questions that won't

   Wait for daylight
   Bbsus              /  
   Separating fact from my imaginary fiction
           
   On this shelf of my conviction
     Bbsus          
   I need to find a place 
                              
   Where You and I come face to face



Verse 2

   Thomas needed
   Bbsus              
   Proof that You had really risen

   Undefeated
   Bbsus              
   When he placed his fingers 
/           
   Where the nails once broke Your skin
           
   Did his faith finally begin?
        Bbsus        
   I've lied if I've denied 
                                   
   The common ground I've shared with him


CHORUS
                          
   And I, I really want to know You
     
   I want to make each day
/                                  
   A different way that I can show You how
                     
   I really want to love You
      
   Be patient with my doubt
   /                         /   
   I'm just tryin' to figure out Your will
                               
   And I really want to know You still


Verse 3

   Nicodemus
   Bbsus          
   Could not understand how You could

   Truly free us
      (no chord)
   He struggled with the image 
         
   Of a grown man born again
      
   We might have been good friends
       Bbsus              
   Cuz sometimes I still question, too
               
   How easily we come to You

CHORUS


Bridge
         Bbsus                                  
   No more campin' on the porch of indecision
           Bbsus                 /    
   No more sleepin' under stars of apathy
                   Bbsus     
   And it might be easier to dream
                      
   But dreamin's not for me

CHORUS
