Pray to God [Dm] he [F] hears you, [Gm]
and pray to God [Dm] he [F] hears [Eb] you.

[Bb] He begins [Dm] to raise his voice, [Bb] you lower yours, [Dm] you grant him one [Bb] last choice.
Drive until [Dm] you lose the road, [Bb] a break with the ones [Dm] that follow. _ _
[Bb] _ He will [Dm] do one of two [Bb] things, he will admit [Dm] to _ everything.
