[Verse]
F G
I went to bed in my nightdress
C F
dressed just right for prayers of righteousness
C F
I had my hands clasped tight for this
C F
and i did pray, i did pray
F G
first the required content
C F
the poor, the sick, and the haunted
C F
finish with the things that i wanted
C F
so as not to be bold, not to be bold
[Verse]
F G
i went to camp for the horses
C F
or the food, the fires, rejoices
C F
not the girls or the guys but the voices
C F
held up my palms, held out my palms
F G
i went to bat for the good son,
C F
ran the bases just for the right one
C F
grace comes only when life is done
C F
so put down you head, put down your head
[Chorus]
F F
put down your head
F G
my knees, my hands, my chest
Am C
for guilt for love i beg please bless
F G
i say my prayers i genuflect
Am C
and if i do it right will you let me in
F G
my deeds, my hands, this mess
Am C
in guilt we silence our questions
F G
i say my prayers nevertheless
Am C
did I do it right, don't you leave me yet
