[Dm]
I wrote a letter [Am] to the Lord
[Gm] Begging him to send [Dm] the cards
That [Am] would make him stay [Gm] by my side
[Dm] He [Am] sent an A [Gm] minor group
To [Am] size a lightening, [Dm] something small
[Am] That doesn't [Gm] hurt at all
[Dm] [C] There comes the major [Bb] in all his glory
[Dm] [C] Forgive the father, [Bb] it says I'm sorry
[Dm] [C] I asked if he could [Bb] send the lines
But [Dm] he said no, [Bb] didn't ask why
I [F] took a pen [C] and read it down
[Dm] I wrote to the [Bb] sun
[F] Make it [C] nice
[Dm] Let all our [Bb] fears be
[F] There's nothing [C] wrong
[Dm] It's so [Bb] partial
You know, [F] it's not funny
[C] But these are [Dm] my words
These [Bb] are my lines
This [F] is my prayer
[C]
[Dm] Mmm, mmm
Cause [Am] every inch of [Gm] my skin
The heart, the perfume [Dm] of my sin
I've tried [Am] to take it off [Gm] so many [Am] times
[Dm] Hey, I know this [Am] is my very [Gm] last chance
No [Am] mercy, no kindness, no [Dm] defense
[Am] I hope it comes [Gm] naturally
[Am]
[Dm] There [C] comes the major in [Bb] all his glory
