Listen to it to get the strumming patterns.
I can barely play the guitar yet, but I've listened really carefully and think
that this tab works. Email me with any corrections/feedback.
Notes:
(x) means you should mute it, but you don't absolutely have to. Good for
beginners like me, especially when stretching that pinky. :P
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
INTRO (play this line 2x) and VERSE (play this line 4x)

It tapped me on the shoulder today when I got home
I saw everything collecting dust; it made me hope there was something more
I pore over pages, desperate to find out why
The cripple at your table has what I'm longing to find

Why are some women barren while the wicked's house is full
The stories never seem to end, give me evidence I'm not alone
You said the weak would be lifted up, but maybe just not yet
So while I wait in this flesh and blood, I'll learn to lean in
CHORUS (2x) (same as CHORUS above)
