Pray

Em  Em

[Verse 1]

My eyes are made of winter and these
 hands I hold are skin and bone
C   D   Em
Oh, oh,  oh

Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone
 cold

I know you, I know you of old
C   D   Em
Oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
 Am
Pray for me oh children pray for
 Bm
what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve done
     C                             
I’ll haunt the very wrinkles of 
    Em
your skin
 Am
Pray for me,
                  Em
I’ll run until I begin to understand
      C                 D
What holy men really mean
                    Em
when they speak of sin

[Chorus]
Em  D    G   Am
Oh, oh   oh, oh
 C                                 
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for 
Bm
you
Em  D    G   Am
Oh, oh   oh, oh
C
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Bm                         Em
I won't, I won't pray for you

[Verse 2]
Em
If you knew all that I’d done

The words that shone are all but 
gone
C   Cm  Em
Oh, oh, oh

The hearts I’ve broken, the minds 
I've woken

Sweet nothings are screamed not 
spoken
C   D  Em
Oh, oh, oh

Am
God made all man in his image
Bm
Honey I- I- I’m no man
 C                                 
I’m what’s left when children go to
    Em
 war
 Am
Run from you, I’ll run until
   Em
I begin to understand
      C
What holy men really mean
           D
when they speak of sand and sons and
 seams
and symphonies and  sweat and sex 
     Em
and sin

[Chorus]
Em  D    G   Am
Oh, oh   oh, oh
 C                                Bm

Em  D    G   Am
Oh, oh   oh, oh

Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em  D         G   Am
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Bm
I won't, I won't pray for

I won't, I wont pray for

I won't, I won't pray for
                           Em
I won't, I won't pray for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Am
Pray for me oh children pray for
Bm
what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve undone
   C                             
I cannot sleep when all you do is 
  Em
cry
Am                             Em
Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin 
to understand
      C
What holy men really mean
           D
when they speak of all that’s been

and all that won’t

And all you do and don’t
     Am
And why you cannot sleep for sighing
     Bm
Why womanhood is more than crying
     C                             
I’m stronger now than you have ever
   D
 known
     Em
The cracks you made I fill with 
mortar
    Bm
A broken pot can still hold water
    C
Symphonies and sweat and sex mean
  D
nothing when you are obsessed

With sin and soil and strength and 
song

and all the words that came out 
wrong
     Em
and him

[Chorus]
Em  Bm        G   Am
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
 C                               Bm
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em  Bm        G   D
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Bm
I won't, I won't pray for
Em  Bm        G   Am
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C                                Bm
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em  Bm        G   Am
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
 C
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
 Bm
I won't, I won't pray for
Bm
I won't, I wont pray for
Bm
I won't, I won't pray for
Bm             Em
I won't pray for
