Verse: 
 Am        G Dm Am 
Life is a mystery 
                G  Dm  Am 
Everyone must stand a-lone 
Am          G       C 
I hear you call my name 
 F       C    G       Am   
And it feels like... home 


 
C                  G                        F 
 When you call my name it's like a little prayer 
                 Am                    C 
I'm down on my knees, wanna take you there 
                 G           C         F 
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power 
             Am                             F  
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there 


Pre-Chorus 
F            C    G             Am     
I hear your voice  it's like an angel sighing 
F            C                 G 
 I have no choice I hear your voice,  
            C 
Feels like flying 
F            C    G          Am         
 I close my eyes,  oh God I think I'm falling 
F             C               G 
 Out of the skies I close my eyes, heaven help me! 



C                  G                       F 
 When you call my name it's like a little prayer 
                Am                  G    C 
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there 
                 G           C         F 
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power 
             Am                             F   
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there 


Pre-Chorus 
 F       C    G             Am  
Like a child,  you whisper softly to me 
F              C                 G             C  
 You're in control just like a child, now I'm dancing 
F              C    G           Am 
 It's like a dream,  no end and no beginning 
F                 C                 G 
 You're here with me, it's like a dream 
          F    C 
Let the choir sing 



C                 G                       F 
When you call my name it's like a little prayer 
             Am                 G    C 
Down on my knees, I wanna take you there 
                 G           C         F 
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power 
             Am                             C 
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

When you call my name It's like a little prayer 
            Am                       F 
Down on my knees, I wanna take you there 
Am                 F    Am   
I wanna take you there
