From "Skylarking"(1986) [Intro] G F C x2 [Chorus]
G           F              C      F
I've been praying all the week through,

    G        F              Esus4 E
At home, at work and on the bus.

G           F            C    F
I've been praying I can keep you,

F       C              G
And to earn enough for us.
[Chorus]
G      F         C  F
I can take humiliation,

     G       F                 Esus4 E
And hurtful comments from the boss.

G          F             C   F
I'm just praying by the weekend,

F      C              G
I can earn enough for us.
[Verse]
C                           D
Found a house that won't repair itself,

          Bbmaj7
With its windows cracking,

       Ebmaj7                  G        Em
And a roof held together with holes (oh oh oh)

 C                         D
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder,

    Bbmaj7                   Ebmaj7
We shouldn't be sadder Than others like us

          Dm                          G
Who have goals for the betterment of life,

D             F#m/C#         Bm        A
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest...
[Chorus]
G           F              C      F
I've been praying all the week through,

    G        F              Esus4 E
At home, at work and on the bus.

G           F            C    F
I've been praying I can keep you,

F       C              G
And to earn enough for us.
[Verse]
C                             D
So you're saying that we're going to be three,

        Bbmaj7
Now, a father's what I'll be.

Ebmaj7                       G 
Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud,

G        
But the belt's already tight,

D          F#m/C#        Bm         A
I'll get another job at night, but honest...
[Chorus]
G           F              C      F
I've been praying all the week through,

    G        F              Esus4 E
At home, at work and on the bus.

G           F            C    F
I've been praying I can keep you,

F       C              G
And to earn enough for us.

And hurtful comments from the boss...
