[Verse 1]
G           F              C      F
I've been praying all the week through
    G       F               Esus4
at home at work and on the bus
G           F            C    D
I've been praying I can keep you
F      C               G
and to earn enough for us


[Verse 2]
G      F         C F
I can take humiliation
     G       F                 Esus4
and hurtful comments from the boss
G           F             C  D
I've been praying by the weekend
F     C               G
I can earn enough for us


[Chorus 1]
 C                          D
Found a house that won't repair itself, with its'
 Bbmaj7                 Eb
windows cracking and a roof held together with
 Gm
holes (woah-oh oh-oh oh-oh ohhh oh)
 C                         D
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder, we
  Bbmaj7                 Eb
shouldn't be sadder than others like us who have
 Gm
goals (for the betterment of life)
  D            F#m           Bm        A
Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest...


[Repeat Verse 1]

[Chorus 2]
 C                           D
So you're saying that we're gonna be three
        Bbmaj7                 Eb
Now, a father's what I'll be, don't get me wrong, I'm so
  Gm
proud (but the belt's already tight)
D          F#m           Bm        A
I'll get another job at night, but honest...


[Repeat Verse 2]
