Broken Prayers

	  		
G 
I've been taught how to talk to You 
       C 
Hold it together 
Make the bad look better 
Say all the words that I'm supposed to 
      G 
Bow my head, say Amen 
Yeah, that'll do 
                      C 
Making every dead-end look like heaven 
Like being okay is the way to reach You 
Em 
But You're not afraid of all the things I feel 
D 
So why am I afraid of being real? 

                      G 
You want my tears, every messy word 
                                     C 
Every scar and every fear 
You want all I have 
With no holding back 
    Em 
When I'm hurt, at my worst 
                       D 
You meet me there 
                    C 
'Cause You see the beauty 
                            G 
In my broken prayers! 
                               C 
In my broken prayers! 

              G 
You don't care if it ain't poetry 
                           C 
'Cause all of my edges 
They are a little rough 
But that's all I got to bring 

D                                                                C 
'Cause You're not afraid of all the things I feel 
D                                                                C 
Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed 

                  G 
You want my tears, every messy word 
                             C 
Every scar and every fear 
You want all I have 
With no holding back 
                 Em             D 
When I'm hurt, at my worst 
                       C 
You meet me there 
'Cause You see the beauty 
                           G 
In my broken prayers! 
                          C 
In my broken prayers! 

  G 
Mascara running down my face 
Desperate cry in a dark place 
 C 
You take me that way 
All of me 

                       G 
You want my tears, every messy word 
                                      C 
Every scar and every fear 
You want all I have 
With no holding back 
         Em 
When I'm hurt, at my worst 
                D 
You meet me there 
C 
'Cause You see the beauty 
                            G 
In my broken prayers! 
                            
                           C 
In my broken prayers! 
                           G 
In my broken prayers
