The Prayers We Light (live)

	  		


verse 1 

G 
Where will you go 
            C   
when your wandering lust has left you 
G 
and all you've known in life   
      C                    D 
are travelling troubadors? 

G 
Where will you fall 
           C       
when your legs lose their courage? 
G 
You can't bear the thought  
            D                 G 
of another long and winding road 

G 
What'll you do 
             C 
when you've got to say you're sorry 
G 
but it's so hard 
                    C          D     
and you don't know where to begin? 

G 
How will you feel 
             C 
when you're lying on the train tracks 
G 
and you don't know if what you hear 
       D              G  
is a whistle or the wind? 


Pre-Chorus 

Am 
All the prayers we light 
             D 
asking for another shot at life 
Am 
all the lines we crossed  
                D 
fighting for a long lost cause 




Am 
But I'll never apologise 
Em 
for secrets hidden in my eyes 
C 
praying for a desperate muse 
Am                             D 
fighting for the ones who'll never 
                 G 
make it through 



verse 2- 

G 
Think real hard 
         C 
are you happy with your memories? 
G                       C                D  
Satisfied with who you know yourself to be? 
G 
Who do you see  
          C 
when you gaze at your reflection? 
G                        D              G 
Are you seeing who you really want to see? 


Pre-Chorus 

Am 
All the prayers we light 
             D 
asking for another shot at life 
Am 
all the lines we crossed  
                D 
fighting for a long lost cause 




Am 
But I'll never apologise 
Em 
for secrets hidden in my eyes 
C 
praying for a desperate muse 
Am                             D 
fighting for the ones who'll never 
                 G 
make it through 



verse 3- 

G 
Who will save you  
             C 
when you're lying in the gutter? 
G                             C             D 
The only hymns you know are songs on the radio. 
G 
Who'll you think of  
             C    
when you're wide awake at midnight 
G                                      D                 G    
and all you've ever learned from life was how to live alone? 


Pre-Chorus 

Am 
All the prayers we light 
             D 
asking for another shot at life 
Am 
all the lines we crossed  
                D 
fighting for a long lost cause 




Am 
But I'll never apologise 
Em 
for secrets hidden in my eyes 
C 
praying for a desperate muse 
Am                             D 
fighting for the ones who'll never 
                  G 
make it through
