Pray

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
G Em C D/F#
 
[Verse 1]
         G
Well the path that I'm on ain't conducive to peace
        Em
There's blood on my hands, dirt on my knees
C
Tears on the altar laid out before me
D/F#
Wasting my breath on recycled old stories
   G
Of love that I've lost and love that I've found
Em
Trying to grow up in this soul sucking town
C
Scared that I lost in a world that lay dying
D/F#
  Song after song and night after night
 
[Chorus]
  G
I pray
                       Em
Pray I'm not out on my own
                          C
Pray that I make it back home when we're done
 
and the folks have stopped singing
D/F#
Pray that we close all this distance between us
  G
I   pray
                        Em
Pray for the silence to end
                         C
Pray I hear your voice again when I'm down
 
and it seems all is hopeless
           D/F#
If I could just get the world
 
to slow down for a moment
  G
I'd pray
 
[Instrumental]
Em C D/F#
 
[Verse 2]
           G
Well the ends they don't meet
 
Or justify the means
    Em
I'm runnin' on empty
 
Dear God I need sleep
C
I miss my mama and I miss Rogers County
          D/F#
But home ain't been the same
 
Since they moved on without me
 
[Chorus]
        G
Still I  pray
                       Em
Pray I'm not out on my own
                           C
Pray that I make it back home when we're done
 
and the folks have stopped singing
D/F#
 Pray that we close all this distance between us
 G
I  pray
                        Em
Pray for the silence to end
                          C
Pray I hear your voice again when I'm down
 
and it seems all is hopeless
           D/F#
If I could just get the world
 
to slow down for a moment
  G
I'd  pray
 
(Slowing Down)
Em C D/F#
