I Was a Prayer Alkaline Trio
intro-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
[G]I am waiting 'til there's nothing left
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
I am[Em] empty, I am s[C]kin and bones, I'm a [G]ribcage
Well, I'm out the door with apathy
And I'm coming home with sympathy
I am [Em]realize, I am [C]shame, I choose to [G]stay here
[Em]You got a sign, so [C]I pay a ransom
[G]You felt sorry, [D]so I felt a wrath come
[Em]Had a nice grip on my [C]life 'til you twisted my arm
My [D]arm
Pre verse-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G
[G]There's a song I love so much I stole
Every precious note I took, I sold
Now I [Em]spit out words. Do you [C]see my lungs on the d[G]ancefloor?
[G]To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul
A romantic plastic piece of sh*t you can [Em]mold
Until I [C]break into chokable [G]pieces
[Em]You got a sign, so [C]I pay a ransom
[G]You felt sorry, [D]so I felt a wrath come
[Em]Had a nice grip on my [C]life 'til you twisted my arm
[D]My arm
Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C
[Em]And I open up like the [C]back of a book
[G]I ruin everything with [D]just a quick look
[Em]I settle down like a [C]rocket explodes
[G]Hit the ground, but how [D]far out who knows
[Em]You got a sign, so [C]I pay a ransom
[G]You felt sorry, so I[D] felt a wrath come
[Em]Had a nice grip on my [C]life untill you twisted my [D]arm
my arm
end on G
