I Was a Prayer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I am [G]waiting
'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am [Em]empty, I am [C]skin and bones,
[G]I'm a ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
I am [Em]realize, I am [C]shame,
I choose to [G]stay here

[Verse 2]
[Em]You got a sign, so I pay[C] the ransom
[G]You felt sorry, so [D]I fucked her outcome
[Em]Had a nice grip on my [C]life
'til you twisted [D]my arm
[G]My arm

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][G][D][Em][C][G]

[Verse 3]
There's a [G]song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Now I [Em]spit out words 'til you [C]see
my lungs on the [G]dance floor
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece
of shit you can [Em]mold
Until I [C]break into [G]chokable pieces

[Verse 4]
[Em]You got a sign, so I pay[C] the ransom
[G]You felt sorry, so I f[D]ucked her outcome
[Em]Had a nice grip on m[C]y life
'til you twisted [D]my arm
[G]My [Em]arm

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 5]
And [Em]I open up like the bac[C]k of a book
[G]I ruin it within a dri[D]ft,
I kept looking [Em](??)
I settle down like a [C]rocket explodes
[G]Hit the ground while I fil[D]e
every note [Em](??)

[Verse 6]
You got a sign, so [C]I pay the ransom
[G]You felt sorry, so I f[D]ucked her outcome
[Em]Had [C]a ni[D]ce g[G]rip
