[Verse]
C G
I had ev'rything, lost it all
C F
I built towers of gold, watched em fall
Am
I tried my best
F G
But I guess my best just wasn't good enough
C G
I made promises. Broke em
C F
I've laid loved ones lives wide open
Am F
And I've got a broken heart but I've come this far
G
And I ain't givin up
[Chorus]
F C
I pray for a stronger back, I pray for a bigger heart
G F C
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark
F Am
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track
F G C
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
[Verse]
C G
I've seen losers get a second chance
C F
I've seen miracles from happenstance
Am F G
I've seen long shots come from way behind To win the race
C G
And I've dreams blow up in a cloud of smoke
It's a world of pain, it's a world of hope
C F
And it's dark right now but I know somehow
Dm C F G
Some day the sun will find some way to shine down on my face
[Chorus]
F
I pray for a stronger back
C
I pray for a bigger heart
G F C
I pray for the will to keep on walkin when the way is dark
F Am
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track
F G C
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
F Am
I follow that windin road just tryin to stay on track
F C
I don't pray for a lighter load I pray for a stronger back
