Like a Child
written by: Jars of Clay, Lyrics by Dan Haseltine
transcribed by: David Lawson and Carrie Faith Ingram
***O.K. all you Jars fans out there, I tried to figure this out, and I've
somewhat succeded. I know at least the chords are mostly right---just
mess around with the progressions here, and see if it works. I don't know
exactly how to write tab, so this should be interesting!!!***
{here's some chords that would be easier to write in tab, but i don't know
how to do that}
1 x x x x 8 7
2 x x x x 7 5
3 x x x x 5 3
4 x x x x 3 2
5 x x x x 3 3
6 x x x x 12 10
G--C2
Dear God,
G--C2 G--C2
surround me as I speak,
G--C2 G--C2
the bridges that I walk across are weak,
G C2 G--C2 G--C2
and the frustrations fill the void that I can't solely bear.
1-2-3-4-5
Dear God,
1 2 3 4 5
don't let me fall apart,
2 1 2 3 6
You've held me close to You,
1 2--2 12
and I have turned away and searched
3 1-2 - 2 - 1 2--4
for answers I can't understand.
CHORUS:
D2-D-Dsus C2 G C2
They say that I can move the mountains
D2-D-Dsus C2 G C2
and send them falling (crashing) to the sea
D2-D-Dsus C2 G C2
They say that I can walk on water
D2-D-Dsus C2 G C2
if I would follow and believe
with faith like a child
G--C2 G--C2 G--C2 G
Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see Your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of You...
