    Em
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions
    G
I block out the news, turn my back on religion
      Am
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naive
      C
I've made it this far on my own
     Em
But lately, that shit ain't been getting me higher
   G
I lift up my head and the world is on fire
         Am
There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones
    C
And I just don't know what to say

Chorus:
             Em    G
Maybe I'll pray, pray
             Am
Maybe I'll pray
      C                                        Em     G    Am   C
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

You won't find me in church (No)
Readin' the Bible (No)
I am still here and I'm still your disciple
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' you, please
I'm broken, alone, and afraid
I'm not a saint, I'm more of a sinner
I don't wanna lose, but I fear for the winners
When I try to explain, the words run away
That's why I am stood here today

Chorus:
                Em    G
And I'm gonna pray, pray
             Am    C
Maybe I'll pray, pray for a glimmer of hope
            Em     G
Maybe I'll pray, pray
             Am
Maybe I'll pray
      C
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna

Em
Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?
       G
Let's talk about freedom
                      Am
Everyone prays in the end
                      C
Everyone prays in the end
Em
Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?
       G
Let's talk about freedom
                      Am
Everyone prays in the end
                      C
Everyone prays in the end

Chorus:
Oh, I'm gonna pray,
I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray
Pray for a glimmer of hope
Maybe I'll pray, pray, maybe I'll pray
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray
