I Pray

Dsus A Dsus Esus E


[Verse 1]
Dsus                     Esus
 I can't quote the bible, I skipped Sunday School,
    A                 Asus4   A
 And I can't count the times I fell,
                     A
 And broke the Golden Rule,
     Bm7
 So I don't know if he listens,
            A
 Sometimes I wonder if he cares,
D
 Maybe I'm just wishin,
              Esus
 Cause I can't even prove he's there,


[Chorus]
      Dsus        Esus          E
 But I pray, He'll watch over my children,
 A              Em          A
 I pray, just to be a better man,
   Bm                   A
 To find the strength to rise above,
   D                A
 To be there for the ones I love,
      D              A                Bm7  A E  Dsus E
 To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day,    I pray


[Verse 2]
     Dsus                             Esus
 I confess that I don't bow my head as often as I should,
A               Asus4      A
 Mostly just when times are bad rarely when they're good,
        Bm7
 I don't hold with to much preachin,
      A
 I was raised up to believe,
       D
 That a man can never stand as tall,
        E
 When he gets down on his knees,


[Chorus]
     Dsus        Esus          E
 So I pray, He'll watch over my children,
 A              Em          A
 I pray, just to be a better man,
   Bm                   A
 To find the strength to rise above,
   D                A
 To be there for the ones I love,
      D              A                Bm7   A E   F#m  A
 To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day,  oh, I pray


[Break]
Bm D F#m A D A Bm


[Bridge]
     Dsus        Esus                   E
 So I pray, for a world that's gone half crazy,
  A    Asus4 A         Esus             A
 I pray,      for every woman, child and man,
   Bm                   A
 To find the strength to rise above,
   D                A
 To teach each other how to love,
      D              A                Bm  B D E
 To forgive and be forgiven some sweet day,
  Dsus A      Dsus
 I pray,     I pray
