[Verse 1]
[Em]This[G][Am][Em]
[G]With no dis[Am]guise to keep me [Em]warm,
[G]I ventured o[Am]ut into the st[Em]orm
[G]I hung my e[Am]yes on a thunderc[Em]loud
An[G]d said a s[Am]elfish prayer out l[Em]oud
[G]On my hands and [Am]knees in broken [Em]glass
[G]I set myself o[Am]n fire just
to make you [Em]laugh
[G]That look in your [Am]eyes so far [Em]away
[G]Told me you were nev[Am]er gonna s[Em]tay
[G]Yeah, the neighborhood [Am]was kinda r[Em]ough
[G]But you were in [Am]need
and could not get [Em]enough
The [G]highway called your name,
[Am]but you didn't hear[Em]
The [G]children ran away,
[Am]but you didn't care[Em]
[G]Wake up, [Am]the city belongs to [Em]you
[G]Unfolding in a dream
[Am]that revolves around [Em]you
An[G]d all you do is drive y[Am]ourself ins[Em]ane
[G]And haunt the [Am]street
s in the pouring [Em]rain
I've got [G]scars on my knees
cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when He's been praying,
I've [G]tried to [Am]make it [Em]all
People [G]talk about me
and they [Am]lie about me too
That's the [Em]reason I'm so glad
that [G]people don't have to [Am]carry me [Em]through
I [G]know my Maker lives
because He [Am]lives inside of me
And when [Em]He's been praying,
He [G]gives me [Am]victory[Em]
[G]Scars on my knees
cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when you hear me praying
I'm [G]trying to [Am]make it [Em]home
[G]When you disappeared [Am]without any [Em]shoes
[G]It was clear you had [Am]nothing left to [Em]lose
And [G]every impossible breath
[Am]was a selfish pray[Em]er
[G]Then I saw you walk[Am]ing on thin a[Em]ir
[G]In the steam of the [Am]fountain,
you made your [Em]wish
[G]Through a handful of coin[Am]s
that turned into [Em]fish
[G]They swam [Am]in circles until they [Em]died
An[G]d then you hung[Am] your head and cried
[Em]Every sing[G]le coin was some
[Am]body else's [Em]dream
[G]You stole [Am]them all and split from the [Em]scene
[G]You said the dreamers were
[Am]all fast a[Em]sleep
And [G]if we didn't wake [Am]up
it was all yours to [Em]keep
[G]Now I'm awake in a [Am]city that
belongs to [Em]you
[G]Unfolding in a dream
[Am]that revolves around [Em]you
And [G]all I can do is drive [Am]myself in[Em]sane
An[G]d haunt the s[Am]treet
s in the pouring [Em]rain
I've got [G]scars on my knees
cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when you hear me praying
I'm [G]trying to [Am]make it [Em]home
People [G]talk about me
and they [Am]lie about me too
That's the [Em]reason I'm so glad
That [G]people don't have to [Am]carry me [Em]through
I [G]know I'll make it live
It's because He [Am]lives inside of me
And [Em]when He's been praying
He [G]gives me [Am]victory
[Em]Scar[G]s on my knees
Cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when you hear me praying
And I'm [G]trying to [Am]make it [Em]home
[G]Once upon [Am]a time when we were [Em]proud
[G]You sang so [Am]clear, so strong and [Em]loud
[G]And every haunted word
[Am]was a wake -up c[Em]all
That [G]heaven is here [Am]and now,
or not at [Em]all
[G]Thought you had to [Am]suffer for your [Em]art
Tor[G]tured and [Am]tore yourself [Em]apart
[G]Thought you had [Am]the craft to let in the light
[Em]You [G]convinced yourself
[Am]that they were right[Em]
[G]My love, they could [Am]not
have been more [Em]wrong
[G]To steal your [Am]soul and sell your [Em]song
[G]To crush your [Am]dreams and laugh out [Em]loud
An[G]d hand your h[Am]eart to the hungry c[Em]rowd
[G]So with no disguise [Am]to keep you wa[Em]rm
[G]You ventured [Am]out into the [Em]storm
[G]You hung your [Am]eyes on a thunder[Em]cloud
An[G]d said a[Am] selfish prayer out loud
[Em]I've got scars[G] on my knees
Cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when you hear me praying
I've [G]tried to [Am]make it [Em]home
People [G]talk about me
and they [Am]lie about me too
That's the [Em]reason I'm so glad
that [G]people don't have to [Am]carry me [Em]through
I [G]know my
Maker lives because He [Am]lives inside of me
And when [Em]He's been praying
He [G]gives me [Am]victory
[Em]Scar[G]s on my knees
cause I've been [Am]praying so long
And [Em]when He's been praying
I've [G]tried to [Am]make it [Em]home[G][Am][Em][G][Am]
