A prayer for you 
C 
On this sleepless night 
Em                         D 
With your head full of worry 
C                   D 
All your hungry ghosts have come to

Call you names 
                  C 
Point how far youâ??ve fallen

Oh a prayer for you

If you could feel bad enough to fix

All the anger, all the sadness

That would be quite the trick 
G 
These hungry ghosts 
              C 
Are all just mouths and teeth

When you know them 
            D                                              
Find out all they want to do is go to sleep
