Empty Prayers

[G]I tried my best to keep you here
[Esus4]But it's hard to hold a [G]shadow
[G]You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
[Esus4]Too busy praying for a m[G]iracle

[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for

You to love me

[Em]I prayed about us every night
[Esus4]Boy I know you had to h[G]ear me
[Em]You could've stopped me then and told the truth
[Esus4]But instead you pulled the pillow ov[G]er your head

[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for

You to love me

[Em]  [C]  [G]  [D]
[Em]You should've[C] told me it[G] was usele[D]ss,

That I was praying empty prayers

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
[Em]And I know that He had something [C]better to do
Than to s[G]it and listen to a broken-hearted [D]fool

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,

But instead He was listening to me

I was asking, begging for a sign to bring

comfort to this lonely heart of mine

But apparently you're not what I need

I guess you walking out was Him answering

[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for

You to love me

[G]I tried my best to keep you here
[Esus4]But it's hard to hold a [G]shadow
