C G

[Verse 1]
G
I've been finding myself praying,
         C                   G
have you seen the shape I'm in?
G                                    D
I've been cleaning up my act after a weekend's worth of sin
G                                        C                G
This past year I got let go and then the rent got hard to pay
G                     D                G
So I'm finding myself kneeling down to pray

[Pre-Chorus]
G           C         G
I keep them clear and small
D                         G
Little prayers that won't hurt at all
C           G
Clear and small
D
Whispered words float through the walls

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
         C
I need a surfboard
C             G                                    D
Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves
G
Dear Lord
           C
I saw your billboard
C     G                                   D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
        C       D         G
So I'm praying straight away

[Verse 2]
G
I've been finding myself praying,
         C                   G
have you seen the shape I'm in?
G                                           D
I know you haven't seen us lately on Sunday mornings we're sleeping in
G                                 C                 G
Fried from treading water in this pool you threw us in
G             D                G
Waiting for a lesson on how to swim

[Pre-Chorus]
G           C         G
I keep them clear and small
D                         G
Little prayers that won't hurt at all
C           G
Clear and small
D
Whispered words float through the walls

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
         C
I need a surfboard
C             G                                    D
Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves
G
Dear Lord
           C
I saw your billboard
C     G                                   D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
        C       D         G
So I'm praying straight away

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
         C
I need a surfboard
C             G                                    D
Cause I can't figure out how to not drown in these waves

           C

C     G                                   D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved

[Outro]
G
Dear Lord
                        C
Could you send out that surfboard
C           G                                D
And maybe a couple hundred grand so we could stay
G
Dear Lord

G                     C
If you strike down my landlord
C   G                                           D
I'll be there every week and not just Christmas Day
C        D       G
Kneeling down to pray
C        D       G
Kneeling down to pray
C        D       G
Kneeling down to pray
