^GMy folks had left the TV^Em on ^GI was falling in love years ^Cbefore I ever met someone ^G Like a prayer you don't ex^Empect an answer, though you a^Csk for one

^GWas sure my love would come ^Emalong ^GLike some rare bird and only ^CI

would recognize the song

^EmLike the actors I've seen on the t^Gelevision with the ^Cstage lights on

^GWhat I found was a g^Emamble ^GYou threw yourself in with ^Cme,

made a cross, and you lit a candle

But ^Emwe were only s^Gtrangers cornered in a ^Emdark room ^GProjecting slides of cozy l^Cives on the w^Gall In the light I thought I ^Emsaw you Was it no^Cthing at all?

^EmOf everyone I ever ^Gknew I'm giving it all to you ^CI'm asking everything in re^Emturn and I have nothing left to ^Glose

I'll get it back through you

I'll ^Ctake your offer ^GIt's time I wake and I'm still ^Emalive Outlived my expiration d^Cate

Imagine my surprise

^EmIt's a backwards take on The Book of ^GJob His life was a wager and mine's a ^Cjoke

Give him what he wants He will never know

He's tired of trying to let himself ^Emgo Of everyone I ever k^Gnew

I've gotten used to you

^CI've grown attached to you being h^Emere Of everyone I ever k^Gnew

I've learned to count on you

^CAs my own fingers ^EmOf everyone I ever k^Gnew

I've gotten close to you

^CI've grown attached to you being ^Emhere Of everyone I ever ^Gknew

I've learned to count on you

^CAs my own fingers
