Through My Prayers

Eb                        Bb
Hard to believe I won't see you again
    Cm                      Gm7
We were just fighting when winter began
Ab
The coldness of our words
Bb                                   Eb  Bb
Competing with the wind from the north

[Verse 2]
Eb                                    Bb
Still they make me shiver, but in a very different way
    Cm                       Gm7
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
Ab
I have some better words now
Bb                                Eb    Bb
But it's too late to say them to you

[Verse 3]
Eb                                Bb
My dream of all dreams, and my hope of all hopes
    Cm                      Gm7
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
Ab                         Bb           Eb        Bb
How much I love you and how much I always did

[Verse 4]
Eb
And yes, I know you loved me
          Bb
I could see it in your eyes
    Cm                          Gm7
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
Ab                             Bb                  Eb    Bb
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid

[Chorus]
Eb           Cm        Bb
Feels like no one understands
  Eb          Cm     Bb     Ab        Bb
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Cm      Bb    Ab
Through my prayers
Ab                 Bb          Cm  Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared

[Verse 3]
Eb                        Bb
Every night after and every day since
    Cm                       Gm7
I found myself crying when the memory hits
Ab
Sometimes it knocks me down
Bb                             Eb    Bb
Sometimes I can just put it away
Eb                        Bb
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
    Cm                       Gm7
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
Ab                          Bb
If you have love in your heart
                      Eb    Bb
Let it show while you can

[Chorus]
Eb           Cm        Bb
Feels like no one understands
  Eb          Cm     Bb     Ab        Bb
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Cm      Bb    Ab
Through my prayers
Ab                 Bb          Cm  Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared

[Outro]
Ab                 Bb          Cm  Eb
I only wanted to tell you I cared
