Suckers Prayer Chords

* = single strum then mute
 
 
[Intro]
A - D (barre)
 
[Verse 1]
                        Bm     D
I was not ready for the road
                        A
I was so discontent to wear that heavy load
                        Bm    E
And so I got down on my knees
 
I made a sucker's prayer
                                  A*
Like Rimbaud to Baudelaire before
 
[Verse 2]
                        Bm     D
And when nobody did respond
                          A
I took my glasses off and went to find a pond
                        Bm                  E
Stuffing rocks into the pockets of my pants
 
And when I waded in
                                 A*
Those currents carried them away
 
[Chorus]
                A*                          D    Bm
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
                                              A
I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down
                  A*                     D       E
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown
                                        A
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
 
[Verse 3]
                            Bm    D
So if you're lost along the way
                                 A
And if you're thinking that will always be the case
                       Bm      E
Won't you listen to my plea?
 
You'll make a sucker's prayer
                                A*
Just go and leave it that-a-way
 
[Chorus]
                A*                          D    Bm
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
                                              A
I've been so long lonely and it's getting me down
                  A*                     D       E
I wanna throw my body in the river and drown
                                        A
I wanna love somebody but I don't know how
