(I s[C]ay a little prayer for y[B]ou!)[B7]
[Verse 1]
[Em7] The moment I w[Am7]ake up,
Before I put [C/D]on my [Gmaj7]make-up, (Make-up!)
I s[C]ay a little... (...prayer for y[B]ou!)[B7]
[Em7] And while combing my [Am7]hair, now,
And wondering what [C/D]dress to [Gmaj7]wear, now, (Wear now!)
I s[C]ay a little... (...prayer for y[B]ou!)[B7]
[Cborus]
For - e[C]ver and e[D7]ver, you'll s[Bm7]tay in my h[Em7]eart,
And I will l[Dm7]ove y[G]ou,
For - e[C]ver and e[D7]ver, we [Bm7]never will [Em7]part,
Oh, how I'll l[Dm7]ove y[G]ou,
To - ge[C]ther, to - ge[D7]ther, that's [Bm7]how it must[Em7] be,
To live with - [Dm7]out yo[G]u...
...Would o[C]nly be he[D]art-break for [B]me!

[Verse 2]
[Em7] I run for the [Am7]bus, dear,
Well, while riding I t[C/D]hink of[Gmaj7] us, dear, (Us, dear!)
I s[C]ay a little prayer for y[B]ou,[B7]
[Em7] At work I just t[Am7]ake time,
And all through my [C/D]coffee [Gmaj7]break-time, (Break-time!)
I s[C]ay a little... (...prayer for y[B]ou!)[B7]
[Cborus]
For - e[C]ver and e[D7]ver, you'll s[Bm7]tay in my h[Em7]eart,
And I will [Dm7]love y[G]ou,
For - e[C]ver and e[D7]ver, we [Bm7]never will [Em7]part,
Oh, how I'll l[Dm7]ove y[G]ou,
To - ge[C]ther, to - ge[D7]ther, that's [Bm7]how it must[Em7] be,
To live with - [Dm7]out y[G]ou...
...Would o[C]nly be he[D]art-break for [B]me,
[B] No, no -[B7]bod -y, but me!
