Intro: Gm7 Cm7 F7 A#7+ Am7 D7/9- 
 
Gm7           Cm7 
The moment I wake up 
             F7    A#7+ 
Before I put on my makeup 
  D#                     D7/9- 
I say a little prayer for you 
Gm7           Cm7 
While combing my hair, now 
                   F7       A#7+ 
And wondering what dress to wear now 
  D#                     D7/9- 
I say a little prayer for you 
 
(refrão) 
    D#       F/D#           Dm7        A#/D 
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart 
  A#7 
And I will love you 
    D#       F/D#    Dm7        A#/D 
Forever, forever, we never will part 
   Fm7/A# G7 
Oh, how I'll love you 
    D#       F/D#           Dm7        A#/D 
Together, together, that's how it must be 
  A#7 
To live without you 
       D#        F/D#          D7 
Would only mean heartbreak for me 
 
Gm7           Cm7 
I run for the bus, dear 
               F7        A#7+ 
While riding I think of us, dear 
  D#                     D7/9- 
I say a little prayer for you 
Gm7            Cm7 
At work I just take time 
                   F7     A#7+ 
And all through my coffee break time 
  D#                     D7/9- 
I say a little prayer for you 
 
 
repete refrão 
 
 
Gm7           Cm7 
My darling, believe me 
               Cm7/F      A#7+ 
For me there is no one but you 
Cm7/F         A#7+   Cm7/F 
Please love me too 
                A#7+   Cm7/F 
I'm in love with you 
           A#7+ 
Answer my prayer 
Cm7/F           A#7+        Cm7/F 
Say you love me too 
 
                        A#7+         Cm7/F 
Why don't you answer my prayer, yeah 
 
 
repete refrão
