[Intro 1]
[D][Asus4][Em][D][Asus4][Em]
[Dsus4][Asus4][Em][Dsus4][D][Asus4][Em]

[Verse 1]
When the [D]carnage
was [Asus4]over you could hear[Em] the cellphones ringing
[D]You could smell [Asus4]gun
powder in the [Em]air[G]
And [D]on the bloody [Asus4]ground[Em]
the LEDs were [G]blinking
De[D]liver us [Asus4]from evil,
thoughts and [Em]prayers

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Asus4][Em][G][D][Asus4][Em]
[G]

[Verse 2]
They're [D]lined up on the [Asus4]playground,
their [Em]hands all in t[G]he air
[D]See it on our [Asus4]news feed and we
[Em]cry out in d[G]espair
They're [D]counting up [Asus4]the casualties,
[Em]everyone's choosing side[G]s
[D]There's always someone [Asus4]to blame,
never [Em]anywhere to [G]hide

[Verse 3]
Thoughts and [G]prayers[D]
Thoughts and [Em]prayers

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][Asus4]
[Em][G][D][Asus4][Em][G]

[Verse 4]
This white [D]noise in [Asus4]my head,
I [Em]think I need a fil[G]ter
[D]A pressure valve [Asus4]to keep
from blowing [Em]up[G]
And [D]when the shit [Asus4]comes down I
pray [Em]I can rise ab[G]ove it
[D]Hold me [Em]closer [Asus4]when I've
had enough
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Thoughts and [D]prayers
Thoughts and prayers
[Em][Asus4]

[Verse 6]
[D]Glory, hallelu[A]jah
[Asus4]You are in our t[Em]houghts
and [G]prayers
[D]Glory, hallelu[Asus4]jah
You are [Em]in our thoughts and pr[G]ayers

[Verse 7]
[C]The Flat [G]Earthist realized as
he [D]flew through the skies
The [C]curve of the ho[G]rizon as he [D]fell
He [C]saw the world [G]was round just be
[D]fore he hit the [Asus4]ground
[C]And gravity called [G]out to close the deal

[Verse 8]
When my chil[D]dren's eyes look [Asus4]at
me and they [Em]ask me to explain
[G]It [D]hurts me that I [Asus4]have
to look [Em]away
[G]The powers [D]that be [Asus4]are in for shame
[Em]and [G]comeuppance
[D]When Generation [Asus4]Lock down
has their [Em]day[G]
They'll [D]throw the bums [Asus4]all out
[Em]and drain the swamp for [G]real
[D]Perp walk them down the Cap[Asus4]itol steps
and [Em]show them how it [G]feels
[D]Tramp the dirt down, Je[Dsus4]sus,
[Asus4]you can pray the [D]rod t[Em]hey'll spare[G]
[D]Stick it up your [A]as [Asus4]s with your useless[Em]
thoughts and [G]prayers[D][A][Asus4][Em][G]
[D]Stick it up your [Asus4]ass with your useless[Em]
thoughts [G]an d prayers
