D
Last night I wrote a prayer
D
To the water in my head
A11
Read the book my mother read
 
D
 
    D
See I don't believe in God
   D
At least not one that's not
  A11
As human as me
 
And anyone, that ever was
 
D
 
      G
See I have to believe
 
There's some kind of deity
   D
In lonely eyes
 
In looming trees
  G
I can't count upon
 
Heaven or hell or law
        D
But I'm scared and lonely
 
Amen
 
D
 
  D
In history there's faith
 
When children die people pray
   A11
And that's just human nature
 
       D
It's my instinct to believe
 
There is something more than me
        A11
But I can't name what I can't see
 
D
 
      G
See I have to believe
 
There's some kind of deity
   D
In broken bones
 
In skin that bleeds
  G
I can't count upon
 
Heaven or hell or law
         D
When I'm scared and lonely
 
Amen
 
D
Amen
 
Amen
 
Amen
 
Amen
D
Amen
 
Amen
 
Amen
 
Amen
