[Verse]
(Riff1)
Bm               A
I wrote a letter to the lord,
Em7              A
Begging him to send the chords 
Bm                   A             Em7       A
That would make you stay by my side

Bm                  A
He sent an A minor groove,
Em7                  A
Just as you like it, something smooth
Bm           A          Em7       A
That doesn't hurt at all

(Riff 2)
Bm                 A             G       G  
Here comes the major in all its glory 
Bm              A               G        G  
Forgive the failure says i'm sorry  
Bm         A                   G         G  
I asked if he could send the lines 
(Riff 3)
            Bm                G   
But he said no, I didn't ask why
           D              A
I took a pen and laid it down


[Chorus]
         Bm         G            D          A
I wrote a love song, make it yours
         Bm         G                  D          A
Take all the pieces, there's nothing wrong
         Bm    G      D 
It's no poetry, no symphony
       A           Bm                 G                 D          A
But these are my words, These are my lines, this is my prayer


[Verse]
(Riff 1)
Bm             A
Cause every inch of my skin
Em7                    A
Still holds the perfume of my sin
Bm                   A            Em7       A
I tried to take it off so many times

Bm                  A
I know this is my very last chance
Em7                 A
No mercy, no kindness, no defense
Bm         A            Em7       A
I hope it comes naturally

(Riff 2)
Bm                 A             G       G  
Here comes the major in all its glory 
Bm              A               G        G  
Forgive the failure says i'm sorry  
Bm         A                   G         G  
I asked if he could send the lines 
(Riff 3)
            Bm                G   
But he said no, I didn't ask why
           D              A
I took a pen and laid it down


[Chorus]
         Bm         G            D          A
I wrote a love song, make it yours
         Bm         G                  D          A
Take all the pieces, there's nothing wrong
         Bm    G      D 
It's no poetry, no symphony
       A           Bm                 G                 D          A
But these are my words, These are my lines, this is my prayer
