[Verse 1]
G B7
All my prayer warriors, gather near
C G
I got specific information for selective ears
C C#m G E7
It's big, it's bad, it's really sad, it hurts me to tell
G C#m D
I'm certain there's some flirting with the fiery flames of hell
[Chorus]
G B7
I'm only telling you this, so you will know how to pray
E7
I ain't one to gossip, that just isn't my way
C C#m G E7
But you need to know all of the details, what lead them astray
G C#m G C#m G
I'm only telling you this so you will know how to pray
[Verse 2]
B7
Now, stop me if you've heard this, and I'll hush
C G
But it's enough to make a hardened baptist blush
C C#m G C#m
It's sick, it's wicked, really twisted, can you believe
G C#m D
I'm certain there's some flirting, like the serpent tempted eve
[Chorus]
G B7
I'm only telling you this, so you will know how to pray
E7
I ain't one to gossip, that just isn't my way
C C#m G E7
But you need to know all of the details, what lead them astray
G
I'm only telling you this so you will know how to pray
[Chorus 2]
B7
Whoa pray, pray pray
G D G
The church is on the mainline, everbody pray
C G E7
But please don't tell the preacher, don't you give me away
G C#m G
I'm only telling you this so you will know how to pray
B7
Whoa pray, sing pray
C D G
We need to start a prayer chain, everybody pray
C G E7
I wouldn't want him to know that I had something to say
G C G C
But I'm telling you this so you will know how to pray
[Outro]
C#m G E7
We all know better, bless our hearts, but we do it anyway
C#m G
I'm only telling you this so you will know how to pray
