[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]No, [B]no, [D#dim]no[Adim][Em]
[B]
You [Em]had a fight
Working mom and dad last [F]night
[Em]You made reservations with no hesitation
To catch the [Cm]midnight flight
[D#dim]You said [Em]I'm through,
I'm quitting school
I'm leaving this place behind
[B]I'm[Em] old enough to be on my own
So I've made up in my [Cm]mind
I'm [Adim]leaving to[Em]night[B][Am][Em]
You left home,
now you're out here on your own
[Adim]You play it [Em]cool, now the attitude
In the streets all night you're [B]on
[Em]A man approaches you
in a three -piece suit
Says how do you do?
[B]It was all[Em] for
Tom and it didn't take long
For him to get nex[B]t to you
[Cm]You [B]should p[C]ray
[Em]If y[B]ou don't believe
Just [Em]pray
You [Gsus4]will receive
[C]You ought to pray
[B]God will answer you
You just [Em]pray, pray, pray
No mat[A]ter what you do
He [Dm]will never[Gsus4],
nev[F#dim]er turn y[B]ou down[Em]
He won't turn you down,
[B]he won't turn [Em]you down[B]
[Am]Your [Em]heart and mind say
he's not the kind
Of person [D#dim]you want [Cm]to know
[Em]He has it front an[A]d he's on your heart
[Em]For good to run away from home
[D]He's the [Em]devil in disguise
with the evil eye
And the serpent about [B]to strike
[Cm]You [B]stand hyp [Em]notized
as you realize
Mother and [Cm]daddy were right
[B]In the [Em]twi light of love and I
like to pass you by
Tomorrow night I [Cm]promise to you
[Em]So get on your knees and
Lord help me please
Show me what to do
[Adim]You should p[Am]ray[C]
Pray
If [B]you don't [Adim]believe, [B]you just pray
[Em]You will[Gsus4] receive your pray[C]
[B]God will answer you,
you just [Em]pray, pray, pray
No mat[A]ter what you do,
He will [Dm]never[Gsus4],
nev[F#dim]er turn y[B]ou down[Em]
He won't turn you down,
[B]he [D#dim]won't tur[Am]n you[Em] down, no
[B]He won't turn [Am]you down[C][Am][C][Am][C][Em]
[Am][C][Am][Em][Am][C][Am][C]
[Em][Am]
[Em]You get [C]prayed, if y[B]ou don't b[Am]elieve, [B]just p[Em]ray,
[Gsus4]yeah you receive a pray[G]er,[C]
[B]God will
When I see you, you get [Em]trashed,
trashed, trashed
[A]What you do, he will nev[Dm]er,[G]
[Gsus4]never[F#dim]
[B]Turn you [Em]down, he won't turn you down
[B]Oh, he [D#dim]won't turn you [B]down[Em]
Hangs up tight,
[B]he won't do [Em]you down
Well, when you feel alright,
[B]you [Em]ought to pray.
When you're all alone,
[B]you oug[Em]ht to sing.
Long [D#dim]way, you ough[D]t to p[Em]ray.
When you're doing your best,
[B]you[Em] ought to sing.
The time has passed and
[B]you [Em]ought to pray
When you're all alone,
[B]you[Em] ought to pray
