Regina Spektor - One Man's Prayer Chords

[verse]
       Bb                        Gm
I just want some girl to love me back
Eb              Gm/D     Eb             Gm/D
Tell me I'm her only and take away the lonely
          Bb                           Gm
This deep love in my heart can't go to waste
            Eb               Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
      Eb                Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
               Eb
Then at least, God,
           Gm/D            Cm
let me get loved back by a girl.

[verse]
       Bb                        Gm
I just want some girl to talk to me
    Eb               Gm/D
And tell me that I'm different,
   Eb                Gm/D
or say that I'm the same
        Bb                                  Gm
I don't care what she thinks, just think of me
            Eb                Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
      Eb                 Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
               Eb
Then at least, God,
           Ebmaj7/D       Cm
let me get talked to by a girl

[chorus]
               Bb                   Cm
This is what I want, this is what I need
              Eb                         Bb/D
If I ask real nice, will you give her to me?
               Bb                     Cm
If I just say "Please, this is what I need."
                    Eb                 Ebmaj7
But if I can't have that, well then at least

[verse]
       Bb                        Gm
I just want some girl to look my way
    Eb            Gm/D             Eb
And see that I am better than the others,
       Gm/D
that I matter
       Bb                 Gm
In her life, I wanna be a friend
            Eb                Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
      Eb                Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
               Eb
Then at least, God,
           Gm/D         Cm/C
let me get noticed by a girl

[bridge]
              Eb/G                   Bb
In this great world, we just plan to live
                   Cm       Cm/D       Eb
But you can't plan love, love's from above
         Gm        Bb
And if I do have a choice,
              Eb                       Gm/D
I'll just put one foot in front of the other
         Eb              Gm/D
I'll say one word after another
      Cm
In my voice
            Eb
If I have a choice

[verse]
       Bb                        Gm
I just want some girl beneath my feet
   Eb
To tell me I'm her king and
     Gm/D
then beg me for a ring
      Bb                       Gm
And I want her to be afraid of me
    Eb                 Gm/D
And think that I might leave her and
     Eb           Gm/D
that I will not believe her
         Bb                              Gm
When she says that she loves and cares for me
            Eb                 Gm/D
'Cause if I won't get to meet God,
      Eb                Gm/D
and I won't get to be a god,
               Eb
Then at least, God,
           Ebmaj7/D        Cm
let me get worshipped by a girl

[bridge]
              Eb/G                   Bb
In this great world, we just plan to live
                   Cm       Cm/D       Eb
But you can't plan love, love's from above

[chorus]
               Bb                   Cm
This is what I want, this is what I need
              Eb                         Bb/D
If I ask real nice, will you give her to me?
               Bb                     Cm
If I just say "Please, this is what I need."
                    Eb                 Ebmaj7
But if I can't have that, well then at least

[outro]
               Bb
This is what I want (this is what I want)
               Cm
This is what I say (this is what I say)
                   Bb
And this is what I pray
