Beggars Prayer chords by Emiliana Torrini

C          G                        G
Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands
C                          G
Mama say eventually, this hurting will end
         C
But the shockwaves on my bones will linger
         G
Like the ghost of you here in my bed

Em                   G
When I was lost you thought me a beautiful find
G                                  Em
Sometimes I think of you sleeping, so sleep for a while
G              Em     Em
I find myself asking who'd do this to love
         D                          Em
And the white shouldered mountains, they pointed above

Em             G                     Em
Lord you just dropped me here my the side of this road
G                         Em
Out here's too cold and I don't want to walk it alone
G          Em                   D
I've got a bottle of your blood inside me
D                                           G
And an old beggar's prayer on the tip of my tongue

C C G G Em Em G G Em Em D x2

G              C                  G
Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands
C                         Em
Mama said eventually this hurting will end
