Evening Prayer by Jens Lekman
Evening Prayer
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
[Intro]
G D Am C D
[Verse 1]
G Em
At Babak's school, there is a 3D printer
C D
And he prints out a model of the tumor
G Am
That was surgically removed from his back this winter
C D
In its rugged gray plastic, it looks lunar
C G
He puts the tumor in his breast pocket
Bm C D
As we head out for a beer
[Chorus]
G D
It's been a long, hard year
Am Em D
For a friend who's not sure if he's close enough
G D
To be allowed to care or just be there
Am C D
To include you in his evening prayer
[Verse 2]
G Em
How I prayed that I could stop the pain
C D Bm
When the pain needed more than ibuprofen
G Am
How I prayed that I could take away your worries
C D
When they ran deeper than the West Pacific Ocean
C G
He puts the tumor on our table
Bm C D
Says, "So, this is what caused all my fears"
[Chorus]
G D
It's been a long, hard year
Am Em D
For a friend who's not sure if he's close enough
G D
To be allowed to care or just be there
Am C D
To include you in his evening prayer
[Bridge]
Bb Eb
Last orders, the waitress slides
Bb Eb
Down from her bar stool
Bb Eb
Looks at the tumor, says, "What is this?"
Cm D
"It looks kinda cool"
[Verse 3]
G Bm
Babak's okay despite what he's been through
C Am
But he sees I'm made uneasy by the model he's done
G Bm
He says, "It's helped me a lot to have a friend like you
C D
When I saw you worry, I knew I had to be strong"
C G
He gives the tumor to the waitress
Bm C D
Says, "Give my friend here a beer"
[Chorus]
G D
It's been a long, hard year
Am Em D
I just wasn't sure if we were close enough
G D
But I want you to know how much I cared
Am C D
That you were in my evening prayer
[Outro]
G D Am C D
I want you to know that you were in my prayer
G D Am C D
I want you to know that you were in my prayer
