Intro
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Prayers offered in times of peace are silent conversations,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Appeals for love or love's release
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Gb[/ch
In private invocations
ch]Abm[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
But all that is changed now,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Gb[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
People hungry for the voice of God
ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hear lunatics and liars
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Wartime prayers, wartime prayers
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
In every language spoken,
ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
For every family scattered and broken.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
ch]E[/ch
If you're just a halfway decent man.
ch]B[/ch
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
ch]E[/ch
With a genius marketing plan.
ch]B[/ch
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
ch]Gb7[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Even a little drop will do.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Abm[/ch
I want to rid my heart of envy
ch]Dbm[/ch
And cleanse my soul of rage
ch]Dbm[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch
Before I'm through.
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]Bm7[/ch
Times are hard, it's a hard time
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
But everybody knows all about hard times.
ch]Gb7[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The thing is, what are you gonna do?
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Well, you cry and try to muscle through
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Try to rearrange your stuff
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
But when the wounds are deep enough,
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
It's all that we can bear,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Gb7[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
We wrap ourselves in prayer.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
Because you cannot walk with the holy,
ch]E[/ch
If you're just a halfway decent man.
ch]B[/ch
I don't pretend that I'm a mastermind
ch]E[/ch
With a genius marketing plan.
ch]B[/ch
I'm trying to tap into some wisdom,
ch]E[/ch
Even a little drop will do.
ch]E[/ch] [ch]Abm[/ch
I want to rid my heart of envy
ch]Dbm[/ch
And cleanse my soul of rage
ch]Dbm[/ch] [ch]Cmaj7[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Before I'm through.
Outro
ch]Bm7[/ch] [ch]Gbm[/ch
A mother murmurs in twilight sleep
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And draws her babies closer.
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
With hush-a-byes for sleepy eyes,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And kisses on the shoulder.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
To drive away despair
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
She says a wartime prayer
