[Verse 1]
Em
My eyes are made of winter and these hands I hold are skin and bone
Am/E Bm/F# Em
Oh oh oh
Em
Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold
I know you, I know you of old
Am/E Bm/F# Em
Oh oh oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am/E Bm/F#
Pray for me oh children pray for what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve done
C5 Dsus4
I’ll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin
Am/E Bm/F#
Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin to understand
C5 Dsus4 Em
What holy men really mean when they speak of sin
[Chorus]
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
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
Am/E Bm/F# Em
Oh oh oh
Em
The hearts I’ve broken, the minds I've woken
Sweet nothings are screamed not spoken
Am/E Bm/F# Em
Oh oh oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am/E
God made all man in his image
Bm/F#
Honey I’m I’m I’m no man
C5 Dsus4
I’m what’s left when children go to war
Am/E Bm/F#
Run from you, I’ll run until I begin to understand
C5 Dsus4
What holy men really mean when they speak of sand and sons and seams
Em
and symphonies and sweat and sex and sin
[Chorus]
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for

Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C/E Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you

Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
Em*
I won't, I won't pray for you
[Ad-libs]
Em*
[Bridge]
Am/E Bm/F#
Pray for me oh children pray for what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve undone
C5 Dsus4
I cannot sleep if all you do is cry
Am/E Bm/F#
Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin to understand
C5 Dsus4
What holy men really mean when they speak of all that’s been and all that won’t
And all you do and don’t
Am/E
And why you cannot sleep for sighing
Bm/F#
Why womanhood is more than crying
C5 Dsus4
I’m stronger now than you have ever known
Am/E
The cracks you made I fill with mortar
Bm/F#
A broken pot can still hold water
C5 Dsus4
Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed
Em*
With sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him
[Chorus]
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh oh oh oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C/E Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em* D/F# Am/E D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh) oh (oh oh oh)
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
I won't, I won't pray for
Em
I won't, I won't pray for
