Verse 1:
           G
I've been taught how to talk to You
           C
Hold it together
C
Make the bad look better
C
Say all the words that I'm supposed to
         G
Bow my head, say, "Amen"
G
Yeah, that'll do
               C
Making every dead-end look like heaven
C
Like being okay is the way to reach You

Pre-Chorus 1:
           D                               Em
But you're not afraid of all the things I feel
    D                       C
So why am I afraid of being real?

Chorus 1:
              G
You want my tears, every messy word
                Am   C
Every scar and every fear
C
You want all I have
C
With no holding back
          Em         D
When I'm hurt, at my worst
              C
You meet me there
C
'Cause You see the beauty
               G
In my broken prayers!
       Am      C
In my broken prayers!

Verse 2:
           G
You don't care if it ain't poetry
                   C
'Cause all of my edges
C
They're a little rough
C
But that's all I got to bring

Pre-Chorus 2:
              D                              Em
'Cause You're not afraid of all the things I feel
               D                                C
Don't have to hide the scars that still aren't healed

Chorus 1:
              G
You want my tears, every messy word
                Am    C
Every scar and every fear
C
You want all I have
C
With no holding back
          Em          D
When I'm hurt, at my worst
              C
You meet me there
C
'Cause You see the beauty
               G
In my broken prayers!
       Am      C
In my broken prayers!

Bridge:
G
Mascara running down my face
G
Desperate cry in a dark place
C
You take me that way
C
All of me

Chorus 2:
              G
You want my tears, every messy word

Every scar and every fear

You want all I have
C
With no holding back
         Em           D
When I'm hurt, at my worst
               C
You meet me there
C
'Cause You see the beauty
               G
In my broken prayers!
        Am     C
In my broken prayers!
               G
In my broken prayers!
        Am     C
In my broken prayers!
