[F]
I felt a need for some lovin' [C] So I sat down and walked
[F] I tried to find a reason for livin' [F] But I couldn't find a reason at all
[Bb] So I owned up to my maker [F] And I started to say a prayer
[E] I [C] waited for an answer [F] But there wasn't anybody there
[B] [C] I [Bb] [F]
thought prayer should have been someone [C] But I wasn't quite sure who
It made me believe that there was no one That [F] I could take my troubles to
[Bb] So I knelt down by my bedside [F] And I started to say a prayer
[C] It was prayer I asked for nothing [F] I could feel there was somebody there
