F#m    D       A 
I follow all the rules 
         F#m       D  A 
Well, at least I'm trying 
       F#m     D          A 
Hoping when my days are through 
F#m    D     A 
You'll be pleased 
     F#m        D       A 
I've lived the longest days 
            F#m       D   A 
Thinking my heart was so bad 
     F#m           D        A 
Too scared to look in Your face 
       F#m  D  A 
Oh, if only I had 

          E 
And is it alright 
          F#m 
If I stay here all night 
       Bm    A/C# D 
By the shoreline 


[Refrão]
 
    F#m     D             A        E 
I cannot believe You are angry or unjust 
         F#m     D                 A         E 
You have done nothing but have compassion on us 
F#m    D        A          E 
So be near when I've given up 
  F#m D A  
Be near me 
 

    F#m       D        A 
I'm just like everyone else 
       F#m  D  A 
We are all hiding 
       F#m    D       A 
Acting like I have a wealth 
    F#m          D  A 
Of knowledge and peace 
    F#m      D     A 
But all I've ever wanted 
         F#m             D           A 
And what men have given their lives for 
     F#m     D      A              F#m 
Is a God who understands my weaknesses 
           D          A 
A God that I can love 

          E 
And is it alright 
          F#m 
If I stay here all night 
       Bm     
By the shoreline 

(Refrão) 

F#m D A  F#m D A 

F#m  D             A       E 
I believe You are good and righteous 
F#m          D        A        E 
You've given me Your reckless love 
F#m   D A  E   F#m  D  A  E 
So be near, be near... 

          E 
And is it alright 
          F#m 
If I stay here all night 
       Bm     
By the shoreline 

    F#m     D             A        E 
I cannot believe You are angry or unjust 
         F#m     D                 A         E 
You have done nothing but have compassion on us 

(Refrão) 

   F#m  D  A  E 
Be near... 
  F#m D A 
Be near me.
