Rick Springfield – Prayer (Guitar)

A     G/A
In my perfect world there's no need to right the wronged,

A            G/A
laid down my burden, I know I did not carry the weight,

A           G/A
Not sure to who responsibility belonged,

A          G/A
I turned a blind eye,

                                      Em
while waiting for the hand of fate to still the waters,

D/F#
heal all the broken hearts,

G                        Bm         A
and hope it would be done without a sacrifice.

Em          D/F#                      C
And maybe I just wouldn't pay the price.

                       A G/A
I've fought this long enough.

      D                                 Em
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be,

D/F#                  G     A
a better man than the man I see.

      D                               Em
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me,

D/F#                C
I ain't a saint but to this I swear I send the prayer.

A         G/A
And now I feel all I can do is not enough.

A          G/A
My Rome is burning and I'm standing at the deep abyss.

A         G/A
But every passion started with an act of love,

A         G/A
and every act of love, started with a single kiss.

Em                  D/F#
Father, father your gift was my world of light,

G                         Bm        A
and I've betrayed you with a single Judas kiss.

Em          D/F#
I've been my own executioner,

C                       A G/A
but its not just me anymore.

      D                                 Em
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be,

D/F#                  G     A
a better man than the man I see.

      D                               Em
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me,

D/F#                C         Bm   C
I ain't a saint but to this I swear

               Em    C          Bm
Burn my wasted pride, open your heart to this,

          A
there's a voice that's crying somewhere

                        D
deep inside my soul for shelter

      D                                 Em
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be,

D/F#                  G     A
a better man than the man I see.

      D                               Em
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me,

D/F#                G       A
I ain't a saint but to this I

      D                                 Em
Now I send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be,

D/F#                  G     A
a better man than the man I see.

      D                               Em
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me,

D/F#                G         A
I ain't a saint but to this I

      D                    Em D/F# G A
I send the prayer to heaven

      D                    Em D/F# G A
I send the prayer to heaven

      D                    Em D/F# G A
I send the prayer to heaven
