       F            Am
You threw away the ballast
         Dm                C
and you rowed your boat ashore
       Gm                C
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?
     F             Am        Dm       C
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore
       Gm               C
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?

Chorus:
       Am
So you worked out your excuses,
         D
turned away and shut the door.
     Am
The world's too vast for us now,
         D
and you wanted to explore
       Em               C
It's a long, long long road
       Em                      C
And I don't know which way to go
       Em
If you offered me your hand again
     Dm            C  A#
I'd have to walk away

When I saw you at the street fair,
you called out my name
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
You said we could start over,
try and make it all okay
Didn't you, now, didn't you?

Chorus:
So our past has been rewritten
And you threw away the pen
You said that I was useless
But now you'll take me in again
Well, Jesus loves me fine
And your words fall flat this time
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say
"We don't have a prayer between us."

Didn't you believe that
I have finally turned away?
Didn't you, now, didn't you?
Anything to hold onto to help me through my day
Didn't you, now, didn't you?

Am              D
Jesus loves me fine.
         Am                   D
But his words fall flat this time.
        Em              C
It's a long, long long road
       Em                      C
And I don't know which way to go
       Em
If you offered me your world,
          C
did you think I'd really stay?
       Em
If you offered me the heavens,
         C
I would have to turn away.
       Em                  Dm             C
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
           A#
"We don't have a prayer between us."
 A#
Didn't you, now? Didn't you, now?
        F
Didn't you?
