Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[A][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]This is my lover's prayer
I hope it'll reach [C]out to you, my love
[D]This is my lover's prayer
And I hope you can [G]understand it, my love

[Verse 2]
[G]My life is such a weary thing
But it might be [C]old pressure bringing rain
[D]You keep wanting, waiting and wishing
When I know deep [G]down
that I'm not to blame
[C][Bm][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]What you gonna do tonight
When you need some loving [C]arms
to hold you tight?
Tell me, [D]what you gonna do tonight
When you need my heavy [G]voice
to tell you goodnight?

[Verse 4]
Honey, [G]but you can't let that be no problem
You've got to come on home
and [C]help me solve 'em
[D]Yeah, I won't be missing you
And honey, my lover's [G]prayer

[Interlude 1]
would be all over, oh my
[A][C][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]What can the matter be now?
It can't be too serious [C]we can't talk it over
[D]Living in this misery
Darling, you can't make [G]my life all over

[Verse 6]
Honey [G]but you don't let that be no problem
Just come on home and [C]help me solve 'em
[D]Dear, I won't be missing you,
I won't be missing you
And my lover's [G]prayer would be all over

[Outro 1]
It got to be [G]all over, honey, [C]all over
Don't keep [G]my life going round,
[C]so many circles
This is my [G]lover's prayer,
come [D]on, come on home
[G]This is my lover's prayer
I'm [C]singing out to you
And I hope it'll [G]reach you, darlin'
This is my [C]lover's prayer
I hope to [G]get the message over, [C]honey
[Fade out]
