G
I've been taught how to talk to You
       C
Hold it together
Make the bad look better
Say all the words that I'm supposed to
      G
Bow my head, say Amen
Yeah, that'll do
                      C
Making every dead-end look like heaven
Like being okay is the way to reach You
Em
But You're not afraid of all the things I feel
D
So why am I afraid of being real?

                      G
You want my tears, every messy word
                                     C
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
    Em
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                       D
You meet me there
                    C
'Cause You see the beauty
                            G
In my broken prayers!
                               C
In my broken prayers!

              G
You don't care if it ain't poetry
                           C
'Cause all of my edges
They are a little rough
But that's all I got to bring

D                                                                C
'Cause You're not afraid of all the things I feel
D                                                                C
Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed

                  G
You want my tears, every messy word
                             C
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
                 Em             D
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                       C
You meet me there
'Cause You see the beauty
                           G
In my broken prayers!
                          C
In my broken prayers!

  G
Mascara running down my face
Desperate cry in a dark place
 C
You take me that way
All of me

                       G
You want my tears, every messy word
                                      C
Every scar and every fear
You want all I have
With no holding back
         Em
When I'm hurt, at my worst
                D
You meet me there
C
'Cause You see the beauty
                            G
In my broken prayers!
                           
                           C
In my broken prayers!
                           G
In my broken prayers
