[Verse 1]
Em
My eyes are made of winter and these hands I hold are skin and bone
Am/E  Bm/F#  Em
Oh    oh     oh
Em
Our bedsheets thrown, the meals gone cold

I know you, I know you of old
Am/E  Bm/F#  Em
Oh    oh     oh


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am/E                             Bm/F#
Pray for me oh children pray for what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve done
     C5                              Dsus4
I’ll haunt the very wrinkles of your skin
Am/E                          Bm/F#
Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin to understand
     C5                Dsus4                 Em
What holy men really mean when they speak of sin


[Chorus]
Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E                              Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for you


[Verse 2]
Em
If you knew all that I’d done

The words that shone are all but gone
Am/E  Bm/F#  Em
Oh    oh     oh
Em
The hearts I’ve broken, the minds I've woken

Sweet nothings are screamed not spoken
Am/E  Bm/F#  Em
Oh    oh     oh


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am/E
God made all man in his image
Bm/F#
Honey I’m I’m I’m no man
C5                                  Dsus4
I’m what’s left when children go to war
Am/E                           Bm/F#
Run from you, I’ll run until I begin to understand
     C5                             Dsus4
What holy men really mean when they speak of sand and sons and seams
                                      Em
and symphonies and  sweat and sex and sin


[Chorus]

Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E                              Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for
Em*  D/F#     Am/E   D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh)  oh  (oh oh oh)
C/E                              Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em*  D/F#     Am/E   D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh)  oh  (oh oh oh)
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for

I won't, I won't pray for

I won't, I won't pray for
                          Em*
I won't, I won't pray for you

[Ad-libs]
Em*

[Bridge]
Am/E                             Bm/F#
Pray for me oh children pray for what I’ve I’ve I’ve I’ve undone
  C5                            Dsus4
I cannot sleep if all you do is cry
Am/E                          Bm/F#
Pray for me, I’ll run until I begin to understand
     C5                              Dsus4
What holy men really mean when they speak of all that’s been and all that won’t

And all you do and don’t
    Am/E
And why you cannot sleep for sighing
    Bm/F#
Why womanhood is more than crying
    C5                              Dsus4
I’m stronger now than you have ever known
     Am/E
The cracks you made I fill with mortar
  Bm/F#
A broken pot can still hold water
  C5                              Dsus4
Symphonies and sweat and sex mean nothing when you are obsessed
                                                                                  Em*
With sin and soil and strength and song and all the words that came out wrong and him


[Chorus]

Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E                              Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em*  D/F#  Am/E  D/F#
Oh   oh    oh    oh
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for
Em*  D/F#     Am/E   D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh)  oh  (oh oh oh)
C/E                              Bm/F#
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for you
Em*  D/F#     Am/E   D/F#
Oh (oh oh oh)  oh  (oh oh oh)
C/E
Pray for me cos I won’t pray for
Dsus4
I won't, I won't pray for

I won't, I won't pray for

I won't, I won't pray for
                       Em
I won't, I won't pray for
