Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
The nameless and the faceless
and the infinite places
C 
That hands reaching out are denied
G 
Cause the night tends to swallow
the meek and the hollow
C 
Living on burnt, borrowed time
Em 
And the feeling's resounding
G 
C 
When you're taking a pounding
Am 
G 
C 
And you tell yourself you don't care
Em 
And inside the museum
C 
And the lost mausoleum
Am 
G 
D 
Some lives just can't be repaired
C 
G 
And the pieces line these streets
C 
Em 
With bloodshed and tokens
Am 
G 
To say a prayer tonight
C 
G 
C 
for the broken
G 
Old hags and dime bags,
lost so cold day drags,
C 
pick yourself up off the floor
G 
And there's bending and breaking
and the endless forsaking
C 
This path that you've traveled before
Em 
Man, I   know for certain
C 
when God raised the curtain
Am 
G 
C 
I wasn't prepared for this role
Em 
And there's knowing and learning
C 
and the one light of burning
Am 
G 
D 
In the cool dark night of the soul
C 
G 
And the gypsies and magicians
C 
Em 
Said the gods were all awoken
Am 
G 
C 
By the roar of the lost
G 
and the broken
Bb 
Reflection so telling
and the feelings I'm quelling
C 
I'm walking a mile in your shoes
Bb 
And the face that you don't
recognize
Pontificate or philosophize
Am 
D 
G 
C 
But deep down you know it's a ruse
G 
She comes from a castle
Where the winds cannot lasso
C 
Em 
C 
The moons that exist in her skies
G 
Babe, forever talk to me
I swore you once knew me
C 
I see my regret in your eyes
Em 
And   you spoke like a witness
D 
C 
Of love and forgiveness
Am 
G 
C 
Maybe it's just noise from words
Em 
With your sweet misdirection
D 
C 
And your songs of rejection
Am 
You said you know it's
G 
D 
C 
real when it hurts
G 
So go ahead and walk away
C 
Em 
Cause this time I ain't joking
Am 
G 
Remember me tonight
C 
G 
among the broken
C 
G 
D 
From the mountains to the rooftops
C 
Em 
All the muskets all out smoking
Am 
G 
Say a prayer to
C 
G 
night for the broken
C 
For the broken
G 
Say a prayer tonight
C 
Say a prayer tonight you
