The Jesus Demos
Copyright 1998 Liturgy Legacy Music
Notes: I saw the other tabs and chords and all they show only
the music to the Raggamuffins songs. But I like the Rich Mullins
version it’s a little bit different. ok. This song is awesome,
written by a poet with beautiful Lyrics. And not a bad guitar
player either.
First of all here is the intro guitar riff.

Verse:
GD
You who live in heaven
CDsusD
Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth
GDC
Who are afraid of being left by those we love
DsusD
And who get hardended by the hurt
AmG/BCDsusD
Do You remember when You lived down here where we all scrape
AmG/BC
To find the faith to ask for daily bread
G/BAmG/BCDsuD
Did You forget about us after You had flown away
AmG/BC
Well I memorized every word You said
Chorus 1:
AmG/BC
Still I’m so scared I’m holding my breath
G/BAmDsusDG
While You’re up there just playing hard to get
Intro Riff A
Verse:
You who live in radiance
hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
We have a love that’s not as patient as Yours was
Still we do love now and then
Did You ever know loneliness, Did You ever know need
Do You remember just how long a night can get?
When You were barely holding on, and Your friends all fall asleep
And You don’t see the blood that’s running in Your sweat
Chorus 2:
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
While You’re up there just playing hard to get
Riff B
BRIDGE:
CG/B
And I know You bore our sorrows
Am7 G Riff B
And I know You feel our pain
CBm
And I know that it would not hurt any less
AmGD
Even if it could be explained
EmDG
And I know that I am only lashing out
AmG/BCG/B
At the one who loves me most
AmGDG
And after I have figured this out somehow
AmGDsDs
All I really need to know
VERSE:
Is if You who live in eternity
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time
We can’t see what’s ahead
And we cannot get free of what we’ve left behind
Still I’m reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
I can’t see how You’re leading me unless You’ve led my here
To where I’m lost enough to let myself be led
CHORUS 3:
And so You’ve been here all along I guess
It’s just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get
