Em           Am7
The moment I wake up 
Am7          D79   G
Before I put on my makeup 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
Em               Am7
While combing my hair, now 
Am7                D79      G
And wondering what dress to wear, now 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 


Cmaj7    Cmaj7(add6)          B7
Forever, forever,      you'll stay in my heart 
    Em7    G
And I will love you 
Cmaj7    Cmaj7(add6)   B7
Forever, forever,   we never will part 
    Em7      G
Oh, how I'll love you 
Cmaj7     Cmaj7(add6)      B7
Together, together, that's how it must be 
    Em7     G
To live without you 
      Cmaj7                  B7
Would only be heartbreak for me 


Em            Am7
I run for the bus, dear 
Am7            D79      G
While riding I think of us, dear 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
Em              Am7
At work, I just take time 
Am7                D79    G
And all through my coffee break-time 
  F#m7                    B7 
I say a little prayer for you 


Cmaj7    Cmaj7(add6)          B7
Forever, forever,      you'll stay in my heart 
    Em7    G
And I will love you 
Cmaj7    Cmaj7(add6)   B7
Forever, forever,   we never will part 
    Em7      G
Oh, how I'll love you 
Cmaj7     Cmaj7(add6)      B7
Together, together, that's how it must be 
    Em7     G
To live without you 
      Cmaj7                  B7
Would only be heartbreak for me

|Em             |Am7          |Am7             |D79             |

      Everyday I say a little prayer                              I said

|D79                         |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |D79           |
        I say, I say a little prayer

|D79                         |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |   (fade out)
 Why don’t you just answer my prayer
