The C/B is part of a walkdown from C to Am

C/B – X2X010

Chorus:

G Bm Am C

Superstitious mind’s haunting me

D C G

I know prayers and wishes are two different things

G Bm Am

I’m a God-fearing man but I do believe

D C G

Wish for what you want, but pray for what you need

C D C C/B Am G

And the confusion of the issue is I know not whether to pray or wish for you

C C/B Am G

Yeah pray or wish for you

G Bm Am G

Eleven, eleven reads the clock on the dash

G Bm Am G

I make a small wish under my breath

G Bm Am G

You know I can’t tell it or it won’t come true

C D

who knows it could be about you

C D G

Or a star falling from the midnight sky

C D

make another wish as the light dies

G Bm Am G

Or find a penny on the ground heads up

C C/B Am G

maybe all day long I’ll have good luck

C C/B Am G

These ain’t nothing but wishes

Chorus

Steel solo

A man stands in his field praying for rain

That’s the only thing that will ease his family’s pain

Or a woman kneeling beside her loved one’s bed

Praying the outcome is not what she dreads

Or a man and his congregation might mention peace

In their hearts he makes them believe

Careful what you wish for careful what you pray

It may or may not come true some day

Nothing but prayers

Chorus
