[Intro - 16 bars, single clean guitar + EBow, no drums, room noise] [Verse 1 - whisper, close, drums just kick and floor tom] I saw you standing at the edge of the light Hands in your pockets, looking like a ghost in white I didn't call out, I just watched you fade Another version of a thing I couldn't save [Pre-Chorus - bass comes in, guitars start to bloom] And every word I never said Is hanging in the hall And every night I watch it spread Across the bedroom wall [Chorus - FULL BAND HITS, huge open chords, crash wash, you scream it but in key] And I'll pray Even though I know you won't come back And I'll pray To the ceiling, to the black And I'll pray Like it still means something after all And I'll pray [Verse 2 - pull it back but add second guitar harmony] You left the window open, November in the room I leave it open, so the cold can feel like you If I stay still enough, I can hear your name In the radiator hiss, in the window pane [Chorus 2 - bigger, add octave lead] And I'll pray Even though I know you never stayed And I'll pray To the light that won't stop swaying And I'll pray Like a fool that never learned to fall And I'll pray [Bridge / Break - everything drops to just that one distorted chord ringing out, feedback, then drums come in slow, half-time, biggest moment on the record] Let it take me Let it take me under If I can't have you Let it take me under (Repeat, layered with falsetto) Let it take me Let it take me under If I can't have you Let it take me under [Final Chorus / Outro - all guitars, no vocals for first 4 bars, then whisper last line] And I'll pray... And I'll pray... And I'll pray...
