[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
