      [Verse 1: Logic]
Em
They never knew my struggle

Rose above the rubble
                                                    G   
Rather live inside they bubble then go through the trouble of havin' they double double vision correct it
            
They just neglect it and--
Am
I been thinking lately

Will the Devil take me? or will God protect me?
  C
I know I ain't perfect, but you should respect me
     
They don't want me happy
     
They don't want to let me live

[Verse 2: Sam Smith]
    Em
I'm young and I'm foolish, I've made bad decisions
  G
I block out the news, turn my back on religion
      Am
Don't have no degree, I'm somewhat naive
     C
I've made it this far on my own
    Em
But lately, that shit ain't been getting me higher
  G
I lift up my head and the world is on fire
        Am
There's dread in my heart and fear in my bones
    C
And I just don't know what to say

[Chorus: Sam Smith]
           Em    G
Maybe I'll pray, pray
           Am
Maybe I'll pray
     C                                        Em     G    Am   C
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray

[Verse 3: Logic]
Em
I am me
                
I'm a man, I'm a sinner
                G
But understand, aren't we all?
                                                                           Am
So when it comes to passin' judgements I don't think that you're the one to make the call
                                                                               C
Heaven want to cast me out for being me, I know there's others like me that'll break the fall
                                            Em
I know you hater motherfuckers just can't relate at all
                                                   G
If I'm the first one to the line that's fine, I'll take it all
     
Well Logic, He gon' let 'em know
Am        
I ain't perfect, but I'm worth it
     
I'm alive, I deserve it
C
I been praying, I ain't playin'

I don't think you hear the words that I'm sayin'
Em
I don't think you know the weight on my shoulders
G
That gets heavier as I get older
Am
Callin' anybody, callin' anybody

"Can you hear me?"
C
I pray that you hear me

I pray that you hear me

[Chorus: Sam Smith]
Em
Maybe I'll pray (Lord)
G
Pray (Lord),
Am
Maybe I'll pray
     C
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna...

[Bridge: Sam Smith]
Em
Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?
      G
Let's talk about freedom
                      Am
Everyone prays in the end
                      C
Everyone prays in the end
Em
Won't you call me?

Can we have a one-to-one, please?
      G
Let's talk about freedom
                      Am
Everyone prays in the end
                      C
Everyone prays in the end

[Outro: Sam Smith]
              Em              G               Am
Oh, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna pray
C
Pray for a glimmer of hope
           Em    G                Am
Maybe I'll pray, pray, maybe I'll pray
     C                                        Am
I've never believed in you, no, but I'm gonna pray
