Mary J Blige - Empty Prayers Chords & Tabs

Verse 1:
G                   (hold strings)
I tried my best to keep you here 
Esus4                   G
But it's hard to hold a shadow 
G                    (hold strings)
You said goodbye but I couldn't hear 
Esus4                   G
Too busy praying for a miracle 

Chorus: 
Em                   Cadd9
And you left me on my knees 
G                       D
You just walked out the door 
Em                   Cadd99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
Cadd9                D
while I was begging God for 

You to love me 

Verse 2:
Em               (hold strings)
I prayed about us every night 
Esus4                  G
Boy I know you had to hear me 
Em               (hold strings)
You could've stopped me then and told the truth 
Esus4                               G
But instead you pulled the pillow over your head

Chorus:
Em                   Cadd9
And you left me on my knees 
G                       D
You just walked out the door 
Em                   Cadd99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
Cadd9                D
while I was begging God for 

You to love me 

Bridge: Em, C, G, D
Em           C          G         D
You should've told me it was useless,

That I was praying empty prayers 

But you hopped in your car, pulled out your keys 

While you were leaving, I was begging God for you to love me 
Em                               C
And I know that He had something better to do 
         G                                 D
Than to sit and listen to a broken-hearted fool 

Could've been saving the world from a tragedy, 

But instead He was listening to me 

I was asking, begging for a sign to bring 

comfort to this lonely heart of mine 

But apparently you're not what I need 

I guess you walking out was Him answering 


Chorus:
Em                   Cadd9
And you left me on my knees 
G                       D
You just walked out the door 
Em                   Cadd99
You didn't even have the decency to intervene 
Cadd9                D
while I was begging God for 

You to love me
