C G

[Verse 1]
Am                    G                        F
  Born on a lonely planet full of broken dreams
                        C  G
Where no one understands me
Am                        G
  When I finally met an angel,
                         F
I didn't know what to say
                     C G
She just held my hand

[Verse 2]
Am                               G
  And we would lay awake at night
Looking at the stars,
F                               C       G
 thinking of the ones we've lost And won
                  Am
der where they are
                       G
When we lit another candle,
                           F
she asked me who's to blame
                            C       G                    F
Then she put her arms around me and held me to the flames

[Pre-Chorus]
   Am            C     G
So why do we hurt each other?
F   Am                  G
 We don't need the words for one anothers

[Chorus]
Am
Prayers,
G C F                              Am
     they don't mean a thing at all
G                            F
Do they answer when you call?
      Am
These prayers,
G C F                               Am
    when you don't mean what you say
G                          F
Would you die for me today?
                       Am
No, I just can't relate

[Verse 3]
                        G               F
None of this makes sense in this reality
                        C       G            Am
God just leaves the room when I turn on my TV
                             G                             F
I see a little girl who's crying 'cause she lost her family
                                    C
All these strangers sending thoughts and prayers
      G                F
She's buried underneath

[Pre-Chorus]
Am            C     G
Why do we kill each other?
F   Am                 G
 We can't feel the pain in one anothers

[Chorus]
Am
Prayers,
G C F                              Am

Do they answer when you call?
      Am
These prayers,
G C F                               Am
    when you don't mean what you say

[Pre-Chorus]
F      Am         C         G
 We're so far away from one another
F   Am                 G
 We keep building walls between each others
