Broken Prayers

G
I've been taught how to talk to You
       C
Hold it together
Make the bad look better
Say all the words that I'm supposed 
to
      G
Bow my head, say Amen
Yeah, that'll do
                      C
Making every dead-end look like 
heaven
Like being okay is the way to reach 
You
Em
But You're not afraid of all the 
things I feel
D
So why am I afraid of being real?

                      G
You want my tears, every messy word
Every scar and every fear
 C

You want all I have
With no holding back
    Em
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                       D
You meet me there
                    C
'Cause You see the beauty
                            G
In my broken prayers!

In my broken prayers!

              G
You don't care if it ain't poetry
                           C
'Cause all of my edges
They are a little rough
But that's all I got to bring

D                                 
'Cause You're not afraid of all 
                               C
the things I feel
D                                 
Don't have to hide the scars that 
                               C
still aren't healed

                  G
You want my tears, every messy word
                             C
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
                 Em             D
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                       C
You meet me there
'Cause You see the beauty
                           G
In my broken prayers!
                          C
In my broken prayers!

  G
Mascara running down my face
Desperate cry in a dark place
 C
You take me that way
All of me

                       G
You want my tears, every messy word
Every scar and every fear
  C

You want all I have
With no holding back
         Em
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                D
You meet me there
C
'Cause You see the beauty
                            G
In my broken prayers!

                           C
In my broken prayers!
