Through My Prayers chords by The Avett Brothers

Verse 1:
C                        G
Hard to believe I won't see you again
    Am                      Em7
We were just fighting when winter began
F
The coldness of our words
G                                   C  G
Competing with the wind from the north

Verse 2:
C                                    G
Still they make me shiver, but in a very different way
    Am                       Em7
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
F

I have some better words now
G                                C    G
But it's too late to say them to you

Verse 3:
C                                G
My dream of all dreams, and my hope of all hopes
    Am                      Em7
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
F                         G           C        G
How much I love you and how much I always did

Verse 4:
C
And yes, I know you loved me
          G
I could see it in your eyes
    Am                          Em7
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
F                             G                  C    G
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid

Chorus:
C           Am        G
Feels like no one understands
  C          Am     G     F        G
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Am      G    F
Through my prayers
F                 G          Am  C
I only wanted to tell you I cared

Verse 3:
C                        G
Every night after and every day since
    Am                       Em7
I found myself crying when the memory hits
F
Sometimes it knocks me down
G                             C    G
Sometimes I can just put it away
C                        G
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
    Am                       Em7
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
F                          G
If you have love in your heart
                      C    G
Let it show while you can

Chorus:
C           Am        G
Feels like no one understands
  C          Am     G     F        G
And now my only chance to talk to you is
Am      G    F
Through my prayers
F                 G          Am  C
I only wanted to tell you I cared

Outro:
F                 G          Am  C
I only wanted to tell you I cared
