[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D Em
But You're not afraid of all the things I feel
D C
So why am I afraid of being real?
[Chorus 1]
G
You want my tears, every messy word
Am 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!
Am C
In my broken prayers!
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D Em
'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
[Chorus 1]
G
You want my tears, every messy word
Am 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!
Am C
In my broken prayers!
[Bridge]
G
Mascara running down my face
Desperate cry in a dark place
C
You take me that way
All of me
[Chorus 2]
G
You want my tears, every messy word
Am 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!
Am C
In my broken prayers!
G
In my broken prayers!
Am C
In my broken prayers!
[Outro]
C
My broken prayers
