Sam Smith on Austin City Limits "Pray" chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] Thank you, [Cm] Austin City Limits.
Make some noise right now.
[Fm] How [Ab] are you all doing?
Are you good?
Are you good?
[Eb]
It's really, it's [Cm] really good to be back in this room.
[Ab] About four years ago, I played [Eb] a show [Ab] here and
I remember being very, very nervous and [Eb] it was, I think it was like two months before the [Bb] Grammys and
[Cm] I was singing a lot and I'd been playing [Ab] really amazing shows, but [Gm] coming back [Ab] into a space like this [Eb] was so, so special.
And that show four years ago, and I'm not just saying [F] this, was one [Cm] of my favorite shows I've ever done in my life.
[Ab]
So this means that we have to beat that show tonight, Austin.
Can we do that?
[Eb]
Amazing.
[Bb] [Em] I'm young and a fool, I've made bad [G] decisions, I'm like nothing new,
I turn my back on [Am] religion, don't have no degree, I'm someone [C] naive, I've hated this far on my own.
[Em] But lately that pain been getting me [G] high, I lift up my head and the world is on [Am] fire.
The sweat in my [C] heart and fear in my bones and I just don't know what to say.
[Em] Maybe I'll pray, [G] pray, [Am] maybe I'll pray.
[C] I have never believed in you, [Em] but I'm gonna pray.
[G] Make some noise!
[Am] [C] You [Em] won't find me trying, [D] reading the [G] bible, but I am still you and still your [Am] disciple.
[A] I'm down on my knees, I [Em] beg you [C] please, I'm broken, alone and [Em] afraid.
I'm not a saint, I'm more of a [G] sinner, I don't want to lose, but I feel positive [Am] when I [D] try to [Am] be right.
The world's spread [C] wide and there's a wild school here today.
And [Em] I'm gonna pray, [G] pray, [Am] maybe I'll pray.
[Em] [C] Pray for the people [Am] of [Em] Latvia, pray for [G]
[C] the people of Latvia.
I [D] have never [C] believed in [B] [Em] you, but I'm gonna pray.
Austin City Limits, thank you so [G] much.
