D – A/D – G/D – C/D
(2x)
C G
A-gain and again the same sit-u-a-tion
D/E E Am
For so man-y years
C G
Teth-ered to a ringing tel-e-phone
D/E E Am
In a room full of mir-rors
G D E/D
A pret-ty girl in your bath-room
F D/G
Check-ing out her sex appeal
C G
I asked myself when you said you loved me
D/E E Am
“Do you think this can be real?”
B/A E/B
Still I sent up my prayer
D/E A
Wondering where it had to go
E/A D/A A
With heaven full of as- tro-nauts
F#m7 D/G
And the Lord on death row
A/B Bm7 A
While the mil-li-ons of his lost and lonely ones

Call out and cla-mor to be found

Caught in the strug-gle for higher po-si-tions
D/E
And their search for love
E Am G/A
It sticks a-round
C G
You’ve had lots of lovely wo-men
D/E E Am
Now you turn your gaze to me
C G
Weigh-ing the beauty and the im-perfection
D/E E Am
To see if I’m wor-thy
G D
Like the church, like a cop, like a mo-ther
E/D F D/G
You want me to be truth-ful
C G
Sometimes you turn it on me like a wea-pon, though
D/E E Am
And I need your ap-pro-val
B/A E/B
Still I sent up my prayer
D/E A
Wondering who’s there to hear
E/A D/A A
I said, “Send me some-bo- dy
F#m7 D/G
Who’s strong and some-what sincere
A/B Bm7 A
With the mil-lions of the lost and lone-ly ones
D/A D/G
I called out to be released
C G
Caught in my strug-gle for higher a-chieve-ments
D/E
And my search for love
E Am G/A Amsus2
It don’t seem to cease
