Capo on 2nd fret
**The transition before the second verse sounds kind of odd (just like in the song),
but it resolves if you just keep playing. Don't quit!

[Intro]
Am Em Dm Am E  
I don't get it!

[Verse 1]
Am                                          
What am I supposed to do without your light?
Em                                             
'Cause I don’t understand how this is justified
Dm                                          
I never asked for this! I wasn’t after this!
Am                         E                        
But now I’m hunted like an animal, but I'm innocent!
    Am                                 
I’m lost if I go but I'm dead if I stay
   Em                                    
No matter the road I won’t win either way
       Dm                               
Must I go it alone? Will I ever be safe?
Am  E   
Ohhhhhh!

[Chorus]
C       
Why God?
                         Am  
Why have you forsaken me now?
                           F  
I’m trying to feel you somehow
                            Dm                           
As I run from the shadow of death, back to the wilderness
C       
Why God?
                      Am 
Why would you lead me on?
                                   F  
You show me a glimpse then you’re gone
                    Dm
I'm trying to carry on
    E   Am  
Oh! Why God?
Am   Em   Dm   C    D**

[Verse 2]
D                                 
When we cannot see the other side,
Am                                     
Be the star we follow through the night
Gm                            
'Til we see the sun, o Adonai,
F        A  
Hear our cry
           Dm                                       
When we’re lost and afraid, be the way and the light
Am                                               
Show us your strength as we walk through the fire
Gm                             
Leader of Israel, my El Shaddai
F   A   
Ohhhhhh!

[Chorus]
F      
My God,
                         Dm         
You have not forsaken us now (Oooh!)
                              Bb 
You will work it together somehow
                              Gm                           
As we run from this shadow of death, back to the wilderness
F                
My God (Why God?)
                      Dm                     
I know you'll lead us home (I can’t feel you)
                       Bb                      
With you, we are never alone (I can’t hear you)
                                     Gm  
You’re the one who will bring us "shalom"
A  Dm             
My God! (Why God?)
Dm Am   Gm   F   A 
Ooohh!  Oooooooohh!
Dm   Am   Gm                                       F
Oooohh!     Are you out there? (I know you hear me)
A      
My God!
