Am                  Dm
Hey there Lord it's me
  G                  C
I wondered if you're free
   F
Or not asleep
     Dm
This just won't keep
   E                  Am
It seems I just don't see

    Am                Dm
Why all the things we asked
     G                   C
Or prayed would come to pass
     F
Have gone unheard
     Dm
Like silent words
     E             Am
That slip into the past

[Chorus]
    F
For Lord they're not schemes
Dm
Can't you tell dreams
Am
Why do you
F
Let them slip by
Dm         E
Never even tried

[Verse 2]
Am              Dm
Is it you don't hear
        G            C
There's far too many tears
   F
Or can't you feel
    Dm
Are we unreal
   E                Am
To one who knows no peers

Am              Dm
Say we must pay dues
    G             C
But still I am confused
  F
I need to walk
    Dm
And with you talk
E             Am
Instead of to statues

[Chorus]
    F
For Lord they're not schemes
Dm
Can't you tell dreams
Am
Why do you
F
Let them slip by
Dm         E
Never even tried

[Verse 3]
Am               Dm
You take all the fame
G                 C
Who'll accept the blame
    F
For all the hurts
    Dm
own here on earth
E           Am
Unnecessary pain

    Am              Dm
For surely you must care
   G            C
Or are you only air
      F
Built in our minds
     Dm
When we're in binds
E                Am
And never really there

[Bridge]
    F         G        Am
And can we be tired of you
        F              G                Am
Is that something that we're allowed to do
    F        G                  Am
For even the blind change their views
         F       G               Am
And it's time we tried something new

[Verse 4]
    Am           Dm
And so I pled my case
     G           C
I'll now pull my escape
       F
Didn't mean to doubt
     Dm
What it's about
E                 Am
Seems I forgot my place

    Am              Dm
But if you find the time
       G               C
Please change the story line
   F
Or give a call
  Dm
Explain it all
     E              Am
I'll even leave the dime
