Tessa Violet – This I Pray For You (Guitar)

C                           
Hello, I know that we don't talk,

    Em
but still you whisper in my thoughts.

    Am                F       
You cry. Please don't cry.

    C
You told me that you had to go

  Em
although you said you loved me so.

  Am       F
I know, hello.

C
Aloud I said I'm being just

     Em
then wondered why you wouldn't trust

   Am             F
my lie, it was my pride.

    C          Em     Am
Now you're not coming home.

  F       G
I know, I know

C    Em    Am
I am on my own.

    F            G
But know, please know

Am               F
Wings so you may fly,

G                C
comfort when you cry,

F            Fm              C
this I pray, this I pray for you.

C
I'm sorry for my selfish acts,

    Em  
and if I could I'd take them back.

    Am                     F  
You cried. Oh please don't cry.

    C
And in your bed the things I said,

    Em
and if I got inside your head,

  Am     F
I met regret.

C            
You deserve naught but the best,

   Em  
so guard the heart inside your chest.

   Am         F
Be sure, I am sure,

     C          Em        Am
that somewhere, there's a place

      F        G
where you will go,

C        Em     Am
pain and fear erased,

      F      G
where beauty grows.

Am             F
Water when you thirst,

G                 C
Love when at your worst:

F            Fm              C
this I pray, this I pray for you.
