Capo 1st fret
 
 
[Verse 1]
D              A                       Em
 You still get stoned to make a phone call
               G                         D
You're still a bachelor with those blank walls
             A                       Em
Keep telling people you're six feet tall
             G                     D
I'm finished praying for your downfall
 
 
[Verse 2]
            A                    Em
Can't go on thinking it was my fault
            G                   D
And pushing pins into a cursed doll
              A                         Em
Keep draining Stellas and blaming your mom
             G
I'm finished praying for your downfall
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm      A             G             D
So many hours putting words in your mouth
Bm         A                G           D
To think I thought I almost figured you out
Bm           A          G                      D
I can't make nice but I can make it make sense now
          Bm             A               G                D
Da-da-da, da-da, da-dum, I don't need to see you fall down
          Bm             A               G                D
Da-da-da, da-da, da-dum, I don't need to see you fall down
 
 
[Verse 3]
               A                        Em
Still think my sparkle makes you look small
              G                       D
Still think a fight can make a love false
          A                    Em
Just keep doing whatever you want
             G                     D
I'm finished praying for your downfall
 
 
[Verse 4]
             A                    Em
I can't keep begging for what I lost
            G                       D
And cursing tough love from a good God
                A                      Em
Keep whistling, boy, I was never your dog
             G
But I'm done praying for your downfall
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm      A             G             D
So many hours putting words in your mouth
Bm         A                G           D
To think I thought I almost figured you out
Bm           A          G                      D
I can't make nice but I can make it make sense now
          Bm             A               G                D
Da-da-da, da-da, da-dum, I don't need to see you fall down
Bm      A                G              D
So many lost boys that I sworе could be found
Bm         A                 G            D
To think I thought I was swimming while I drowned
Bm           A                 G           D
Can't say it curеd me but I'll say that it counts
          Bm             A               G                D
Da-da-da, da-da, da-dum, I don't need to see you fall down
 
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                       Bm           A
I can't keep praying, I, I can't keep praying (I can't keep)
Em                            D   A
I can't keep praying for your downfall
G                        D            A
I can't keep praying, I, I can't keep praying
D                             G   A
I can't keep praying for your downfall
 
 
[Outro]
Bm      A             D
So many hours putting words in your mouth
Bm         A                G           D
To think I thought I almost figured you out
Bm           A              G                  D
I can't make nice but I can make it make sense now
          Bm             A             G                D
Da-da-da, da-da, da-dum, don't need to see you fall down
            Bm              A             D
I'll be the bigger man now, don't need to see you fall down
