Em           Am7
The moment I wake up 

Am7          D7    G
Before I put on my makeup 

  F#m7                    B7
[tab]Em               Am7
While combing my hair, now 

Am7                D7       G
And wondering what dress to wear, now 

  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 

Cmaj7    D7/C          B7
Forever, forever,      you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Oh, how I'll love you 

Cmaj7     D7/C             B7
Together, together, that's how it must be 

    D/G G   D/G G
To live without you 

      Cmaj7   D7/C           B7
Would only be heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear 

Am7            D7       G
While riding I think of us, dear 

  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 

Em              Am7
At work, I just take time 

Am7                D7     G
And all through my coffee break-time 

  F#m7                    B7 
I say a little prayer for you

|D7                          |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |D7            |
        I say, I say a little prayer

|D7                          |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |   (fade out)
 Why don't you just answer my prayer
