Big Prayers Chords

Tune down 1/2 step. 
 
[Intro]
D   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
        D
He came home from work
         G
He could see that she'd been crying
          D
It's been three years worth
   G
Of praying, testing, and trying
            D            
And all the doctors said 
                   G
there's no way, no chance
G
Not even maybe
                    Bm             A        
But tonight they're dancing in the kitchen, 
         G
talking 'bout names for the baby
 
 
[Chorus]
                D
'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
          G
Go on and send 'em up down on your knees
             D
When there's no light anywhere in sight
     G
Just close your eyes and you can see
             Bm                A
That you got a friend and he's listening
     G
With miracles left to spare
        Bm               A      
When ya got big problems all it 
           G
takes is a little faith
        D        G
And big prayers
 
 
[Verse 2]
               D
He just turned thirty-five
       G
With a wife and two little kids
              D
And they were building a life
            G
Then it was please, God, no, not this
              D
They said his days were numbered, 

maybe spring or summer
       G
But at best it wouldn't be long
           Bm                       
Then after three months of praying, 
         A
left the doctors saying
           G
Don't know where it went but it's gone
 
 
[Chorus]
                D
'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
          G
Go on and send 'em up down on your knees
             D
When there's no light anywhere in sight
     G
Just close your eyes and you can see
             Bm                A
That you got a friend and he's listening
     G
With miracles left to spare
        Bm               A      
When ya got big problems all it 
           G
takes is a little faith
        D     A      G
And big prayers, big prayers
        D
And big prayers
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
D   A  G
 
 
[Bridge]
       D                           
So whatever is, whatever you want, 
    G
whatever you need
         D                          A
You just gotta ask for the storm to pass
        G
And you gotta believe, man, you gotta believe
 
 
[Chorus]
                D
'Cause when the real stuff gets real tough
          G
Go on and send 'em up down on your knees
             D
When there's no light anywhere in sight
     G
Just close your eyes and you can see
             Bm                A
That you got a friend and he's listening
     G
With miracles left to spare
        Bm               A      
When ya got big problems all it 
           G
takes is a little faith
        D        A   G
And big prayers, big prayers
 
 
[Outro]
                  D
Yes, send 'em on up
       A       G
To the Big Man upstairs
                   D
Yeah, those big prayers
