Evening Prayer

G       D       Am      C       D

   G                          Em
At Babak's school, there is a 3D printer
         C                       D
And he prints out a model of the tumor
          G                           Am
That was surgically removed from his back this winter
        C                             D
In its rugged gray plastic, it looks lunar
C                            G
  He puts the tumor in his breast pocket
Bm                       C  D
   As we head out for a beer

             G          D
It's been a long, hard year
       Am                            Em     D
For a friend who's not sure if he's close enough
         G                D
To be allowed to care or just be there
       Am               C       D
To include you in his evening prayer

       G                   Em
How I prayed that I could stop the pain
          C                        D   Bm
When the pain needed more than ibuprofen
        G                                 Am
How I prayed that I could take away your worries
               C                            D
When they ran deeper than the West Pacific Ocean
C                           G
  He puts the tumor on our table
            Bm                         C     D
Says, "So, this is what caused all my fears"

             G          D
It's been a long, hard year
       Am                            Em     D
For a friend who's not sure if he's close enough
         G                D
To be allowed to care or just be there
       Am               C       D
To include you in his evening prayer

Bb                Eb
Last orders, the waitress slides
Bb             Eb
Down from her bar stool
Bb                         Eb
Looks at the tumor, says, "What is this?"
     Cm           D
"It looks kinda cool"

 G                         Bm
Babak's okay despite what he's been through
        C                           Am
But he sees I'm made uneasy by the model he's done
                G                          Bm
He says, "It's helped me a lot to have a friend like you
        C                       D
When I saw you worry, I knew I had to be strong"
C                             G
  He gives the tumor to the waitress
        Bm                    C     D
Says, "Give my friend here a beer"

             G          D
It's been a long, hard year
   Am                          Em     D
I just wasn't sure if we were close enough
       G                    D
But I want you to know how much I cared
      Am              C       D
That you were in my evening prayer

G  D  Am              C                D
      I want you to know that you were in my prayer
G  D  Am              C          D
      I want you to know that you were in my prayer
