Empty Prayers Mary J. Blige
Verse 1:
G (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here
[Esus4]But it's hard to hold a [G]shadow
G (hold strings)
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear
[Esus4]Too busy praying for a m[G]iracle
Chorus:
[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for
You to love me
Verse 2:
Em (hold strings)
I prayed about us every night
[Esus4]Boy I know you had to h[G]ear me
Em (hold strings)
You could've stopped me then and told the truth
[Esus4]But instead you pulled the pillow ov[G]er your head
Chorus:
[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for
You to love me
Bridge: Em, C, G, D
[Em]You should've[C] told me it[G] was usele[D]ss,
That I was praying empty prayers
But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys
While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me
[Em]And I know that He had something [C]better to do
Than to s[G]it and listen to a broken-hearted [D]fool
Could've been saving the world from a tragedy,
But instead He was listening to me
I was asking, begging for a sign to bring
comfort to this lonely heart of mine
But apparently you're not what I need
I guess you walking out was Him answering
Chorus:
[Em]And you left me on my[Cadd9] knees
[G]You just walked out the [D]door
[Em]You didn't even have [Cadd99]the decency to intervene
[Cadd9]while I was begging G[D]od for
You to love me
Verse 1:
G (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here
[Esus4]But it's hard to hold a [G]shadow
