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)
