Pray The Dawn

Lyrics and Chords

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         G

Just another star-crossed lover, fallen on the thorns of life

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         G

And I don’t love you tonight

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         G

These melting streets don’t really need one more cadaverous type

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         Bmin7

But I want to be with my own kind

A                            D           A                               Bmin7

And you can pray the dawn in every day

Emin                                                        G

But it’s gonna be a long, long wait

A         Asus4      A

For tomorrow

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         G

I’m not sure what hurts me more, the fact I’ve lost my guiding light..

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         G

Or finding out it wasn’t all that bright

D

Your heart’s a pump

F#min

Your head’s a dump

Bmin7

Your soul’s a slum

G

And all of your jewels are gone

D                        F#min                              Bmin7                               A         Bmin7

You’re naked and alone

A                            D           A                               Bmin7

And you can pray the dawn in every day

Emin                                                        G

But it’s gonna be a long, long wait

A         Asus4      A

For tomorrow

Lyrics

Just another star-crossed lover, fallen on the thorns of life
And I don’t love you tonight
These melting streets don’t really need one more cadaverous type
But I want to be with my own kind

And you can pray the dawn in every day
But it’s gonna be a long, long wait
For tomorrow

I’m not sure what hurts me more, the fact I’ve lost my guiding light..
Or finding out it wasn’t all that bright
Your heart’s a pump
Your head’s a dump
Your soul’s a slum
And all of your jewels are gone
You’re naked and alone

And you can pray the dawn in every day
But it’s gonna be a long, long wait
For tomorrow

Just another star-crossed lover, broken on the horns of life
And I don’t love you
I don’t love you
I don’t love you tonight
