How I Learned To Pray chords – Charlie Worsham

                            How I learned to pray


No capo! enjoy :)

Intro:  E E  
When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings
 E A 
Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight?
                                E 
I swear I won't get her over fifty-five.

With Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought
                                   A 
Was if flipping this thing don't get me killed.
                        E 
I'm pretty sure my old man will.
 E B E A 
And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away
        B E 
That's how I learned to pray.


    B 
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
      A E 
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
    B F#m 
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.


        E 
I was living like I was long from the world, mama always said
                                   A 
It'd take a special girl to get a hold of me,
                         E 
But I never let one get close to me.


 E 
The man upstairs must've heard her prayer,
                             Abm A 
Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me
               E 
Like you were made for me.
       B A 
And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved
            B Em E 
And that's how I learned to pray.


    B  
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
       A E 
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
    B F#m  
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.
       B     
I can fold my hands and bow my head,
             A E 
But there's just some things that can't be said
 F#m Abm A 
Without a little walk on water kind of faith.
                               E 
And that's how I learned to pray.

Solo:  E A E A E E 
Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky, felt a tug at your heart
                         A 
Didn't know why but you just knew
 E A E 
Someone is up there lookin' out for you.
               B E A 
Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace.
        B E 
That's how I learned to pray.

 E 
That's how I learned to pray.
