Thoughts And Prayers

D  Am

[Verse 1]
D
How can the grim reaper creep
Am
If he really doesn't have the time?
D
And how long would you sleep
Am
If the sun decided not to shine?

[Verse 2]
D
There's a man who lives up the block
Am
He doesn't even own a clock
D
Sometimes he stays awake for days
Am                         C  G  D
He's doin' it his own way

[Chorus]
C          G                D
I used to give my friends a call
C          G               D
Now there's no one left at all
C          G              D
I think my father used to say
C                   G
"There's got to be a different way
Continúa después del anuncio
    F            Em
To make myself feel okay"
D
Or maybe that's just how he used to 
pray

[Bridge]
Am  D  Am
D  Am  D Am

[Verse 3]
D
And who cares how people live
Am
If living's all they got?
D
And who knows how money grows?
Am
Drop a nickel in a pot

[Verse 4]
D
I wrote a letter down to you
Am
Like I'm Sullivan Ballou
D
It's a recipe for blue
Am             C  G  D
Like it's 1862

[Chorus]
C          G             D
Maybe I'm just a castaway
C          G             D
Or a poor boy led astray
C          G             D
There's no one left here to betray
C              G
The only child of the earth
F                Em
Nobody left here to give birth
Dm
It's hard to tell now what that's 
worth

[Solo]
Am  D  Am
D  Am  D  Am  D  Am  D  Am

[Chorus]
C          G             D
I used to look up at the sky
C          G             D
Up at the beautiful blue sky
C          G                   D
But now the earth has turned to gray
C                   G
There's got to be a better way
F                  Em
To talk to God and hear her say
D
"There are reasons why it is this 
way"
