Dear Lord, this is a prayer, just let me know if you're really there

Dear Lord, come gain control, oh Lord, come save my soul

F#m              E                  A                E
Give me dignity, restore my sanity, oh Lord, come rescue me

Dear Lord, my vanity, oh Lord, it's killin' me, killin' me

If you give your soul to Heaven and your soul begins to bleed

D                A
Remember all the sevens won't turn up when you need

I'm down deep and I need your help

A                               E
There's no one to turn to and I can't help myself

A          E               A             E
Dear Lord, hear this call, oh Lord, save my fall

I despair, my Lord, oh settle on here
