The Raconteurs – Thoughts And Prayers chords

[Intro]
D  Am

[Verse 1]
DmHow can the grim reaper creep
AmIf he really doesn't have the time?
DmAnd how long would you sleep
AmIf the sun decided not to shine?

[Verse 2]
DmThere's a man who lives up the block
AmHe doesn't even own a clock
DmSometimes he stays awake for days
Am                         C  G  DHe's doin' it his own way

[Chorus]
C          G                DI used to give my friends a call
C          G               DNow there's no one left at all
C          G              DI think my father used to say
C                   G"There's got to be a different way
    F            EmTo make myself feel okay"
DOr maybe that's just how he used to pray

[Bridge]
Am  D  Am
D  Am  D Am

[Verse 3]
DmAnd who cares how people live
AmIf living's all they got?
DmAnd who knows how money grows?
AmDrop a nickel in a pot

[Verse 4]
DmI wrote a letter down to you
AmLike I'm Sullivan Ballou
DmIt's a recipe for blue
Am             C  G  DLike it's 1862

[Chorus]
C          G             DMaybe I'm just a castaway
C          G             DOr a poor boy led astray
C          G             DThere's no one left here to betray
C              GThe only child of the earth
F                EmNobody left here to give birth
DmIt's hard to tell now what that's worth

[Solo]
Am  D  Am
D  Am  D  Am  D  Am  D  Am

[Chorus]
C          G             DI used to look up at the sky
C          G             DUp at the beautiful blue sky
C          G                   DBut now the earth has turned to gray
C                   GThere's got to be a better way
F                  EmTo talk to God and hear her say
D"There are reasons why it is this way"
