Am, G, C, D,
[Chorus 1]
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
Now I feel that I
D
Won't be by your side
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
When I realised
D
This is my goodbye
[Verse 1]
AmG
Yeah, have you ever been dogged
CD
By a best mate or even by a friend that you got?
AmG
Well, you been gettin' 'em wrong
CD
They put a knife in your back to get ahead in their job
AmG
You been definitely gettin' 'em wrong
CD
All this hatred, where the hell have they been gettin' it from?
AmG
Every time you succeed like you're settin' 'em off
CD
It's like your life is somethin' that they're envious of
AmG
Don't get jelly when they win though
CD
Anytime they're killin', go and cheer for 'em
AmG
Don't be happy when they get low
CD
Hit 'em up and let 'em know you're here for 'em
AmG
Throwin' hands what you're gettin' ready for
CD
Never been a friendship where there's never any flaws
AmG
In the rulebook there's forever been a clause:
CD
'Never bring a life down just to get ahead in yours'
Yo, tell 'em
[Chorus 2]
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
Now I feel that I
D
Won't be by your side
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
When I realised
D
This is my goodbye
(WHISTLE TUNE)
[Verse 2]
AmG
Yeah, I know it hurts to get backstabbed
CD
Your first reaction, you wanna go and stab back
AmG
It doesn't work, there's nothin' worse
CD
It's undeserved, now they're spreadin' lies and it fuckin' hurts
AmG
They prob'ly did it out of vanity
CD
What's killin', they were meant to be your family
AmG
The shit'll burn, but give 'em worse
CD
Live and learn, swallow your pride and be the bigger person
AmG
That's the problem with friendly competition
CD
Only gonna end as opposition
AmG
You don't ever wanna get in that position
CD
Tell 'em but they never gonna listen
AmG
Yeah, if you do that's some shit that you'll regret it
CD
Either isn't gonna end well or isn't gonna end
AmG
Forgive 'em, start wishin' 'em the best
CD
'Cause while they prayin' that you fail, go and hit 'em with success
And kill 'em
[Bridge]
Am
You gotta know, you gotta know
G
How you've betrayed me
C
And you oughta know, you oughta know
D
I hope you make it
Am
Until you grow, until you grow
G
Out of this hatred
C
You'll never know, you'll never know
D
Until you change it
[Chorus 3]
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
Now I feel that I
D
Won't be by your side
Am
Yesterday I said my
G
Prayer for you
C
When I realised
D
This is my goodbye
