A 
Morning 
       C#m

            F# 
still running dead last 
     Bm 
Over bridges 
E 
Built with bad luck

April 
              C#m 
Show them and they'll see 
          F# 
Simple and plainly 
          Cm 
Theres no walls 
        E 
without foundations 
 

 
     Bm 
Oh i never felt the need 

To hide inside a memory stick 
          A 
With Scrapbooks full of photographs 
C#m 
jokes we thought would always last 

   Bm 
If i counted up the change 

From all those wasted days and bought a 
A 
Million shiny seconds 
  F 
I wonder would i take it all back? 
 

 
    D/A 
So i 

Pray 
     A 
Oh i pray that all the leaves grow back 
                                          D/A 
That ice will melt and rivers keep on flowing 

Pray 
     A 
Oh i pray for all the hands in hands 
                                        F 
And loving eyes and hearts that dont stop glowin 
N.C. A

Thursday 
            C#m 
Unstarted novels, nothing worse 
                F# 
Ive put the chapters in reverse 
                 Bm 
But neither sequence 
               E 
Seems to make sense 

A 
Evening 
           C#m 
Flowers in vases 
                F# 
Staring screens through glasses 
           Bm 
Whilst the petals part 
          E 
And float down 
 

 
        Bm 
Oh ive tried and tried again 

To be the one recounting all the 
A 
Stories gone and long forgotten 
C#m 
Stored till they were sore and rotten 

    Bm 
If i pulled out thread by thread 
                             A 
Each and every minute that goes by 

And by; slipped off like snakeskin 
  F 
I wonder would i take it all back? 
 

 
       D/A 
Still i 

Pray 
     A 
Oh i pray that all the leaves grow back 
                                          D/A 
That ice will melt and rivers keep on flowing 

Pray 
     A 
Oh i pray for all the hands in hands 
                                        F 
And loving eyes and hearts that dont stop glowin 
   A 
Mmmm 
 

 
A 
Night time 
         C#m 
Eyes wide until its done 
                   F   F# 
Time doesnt stop for anyone 
        Bm 
So ive bought and 
         E 
sold and bartered 
 

 
Ohh 
D/A 
Ahhh i

     A 
Oh i prayed and all the leaves grew back 
                                      D/A 
ice melted and the rivers kept on flowing
