Capo 2

[Verse]

We've met half a dozen times

I know your name I know you don't know mine

But I won't hold that against you

You come here every Friday night

I take your order and try to be polite

F G

And hide what I've been going through

F Am G F

If you looked me right in the eye

Am G F

Would see the pain deep inside

Would you take the time to

[Chorus]

Tell me what I need to hear

Tell me that I'm not forgotten

Show me there's a God

Who can be more than all I've ever wanted

'Cause right now I need a little hope

I need to know that I'm not alone

Am F

Maybe God is calling you tonight

To tell me something

G C

That might save my life

[Verse]

I'm the pastor at your church

For all these years you've listened to my words

F G

You think I know all the answers

But I've got doubts and questions too

Behind this smile I'm really just like you

F G

Afraid and tired and insecure

F Am G F

If you looked me right in the eye

Am G F

Would see the real me inside

Would you take the time to

[Chorus:]

Tell me what I need to hear

Tell me that I'm not forgotten

Show me there's a God

Who can be more than all I've ever wanted

'Cause right now I need a little hope

I need to know that I'm not alone

Maybe God is calling you tonight

To tell me something
