[INTRO]
Emaj7  Bm7  A   F#m Bsus

[VERSE 1]
Emaj7               
Carrying all of the world on my shoulders
Bm7          
And it’s gotten too heavy for me
A
You know I ain’t no Hercules
           F#m        
Life moves on, stuff breaks down
Bsus
People fall off 
Emaj7
Gotta find a way to get over
             Bm7
Gotta find a way to get through, breakthrough, hear You
A
Struggles they last, but as time pass
          F#m                 Bsus
It’s been one thing after the other

[PRE-CHORUS]
Emaj7                       Bm7
Oh, I don’t always know the right way
                               A
No, I don’t always know what to say
                            F#m
But all I know is something happens 

[CHORUS 1]
B13    Emaj7                                 Bm7
When I pray, I know I can get through when I pray 
                                        A
I know I can reach You when I call Your name
                              F#m
You’re never too busy for me, You’re never too busy for me
       
When I

[VERSE 2]
Emaj7                                Bm7
Oh, I found myself at the end of the road
                                       A
Looking for it and I see a fork in the road

Hell, if I know, which way to go
  F#m                    Bsus
I feel so alone, life is so, so cold

Emaj7                         Bm7
Oh,  I’m not very eloquent in speech
                                 A
I don’t always sound holy when I speak
                       F#m
Papa told me something happens 

[CHORUS 2] [x2]
B13    Esus 
When I pray
                                Bm7
I know I can get through when I pray
                                        A
I know I can reach You when I call Your name
                            G#m7   F#m
You’re never too busy for me,      You’re never too busy for me

[BRIDGE]
       C#m7
When I pray
                G#7            Bm7
I know You will never leave me dry
                 E7        Amaj7
It’s not in Your nature to turn away
G#m7       F#m7   C#dim
  When the humble pray
       C#m7
When I cry
                G#7            Bm7
I know You will never leave me empty
     E7                    Amaj7
It’s not in Your nature to turn away
G#m7         F#m7  E
    From the hum - ble

[CHORUS 3]

When   I   pray
                                Bm7
I know I can get through when I pray 
                                        Amaj7
I know I can reach You when I call Your name
                            G#m7   F#m
You’re never too busy for me,      You’re never too busy for me
B13    Emaj7
When I pray
