The beat of this song is just a steady down-up-down-up stroke with mutes at every third stroke: \/ = down
/\ = up \(mute)/ down & mute
(i.e. \/ /\ \(mute)/ /\ \/ /\ \(mute)/)
Play comfortably fast
verse
I don't know what to do to ease your mind
Don't have a perfect word to make it fine
I'm not so qualified for sympathy
Still I am not without love
(second verse is the same as the first)
Psalm #4 falls on your grieving ear,
Yes I believe the peace of Christ is here
And I'm here in His name,
You'd do the same, you'd do the same, you'd do the same
Chorus
If you let me close
Closer than a brother
If you let me love you we'll sit here and cry
[: If you let me love you :]
Bridge
Never failing; ever hoping
Seeking to preserve
It always is giving
Often beyond words
And when there's nothing left to
Say, love has a voice,
So in sorrow, and in heart ache
There's a greater joy.
(repeat first verse and chorus)
