When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings
E A
Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight?
E
I swear I won't get her over fifty-five.
With Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought
A
Was if flipping this thing don't get me killed.
E
I'm pretty sure my old man will.
E B E A
And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away
B E
That's how I learned to pray.
B
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
A E
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
B F#m
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.
E
I was living like I was long from the world, mama always said
A
It'd take a special girl to get a hold of me,
E
But I never let one get close to me.
E
The man upstairs must've heard her prayers,
Abm A
Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me
E
Like you were made for me.
B A
And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved
B Em E
And that's how I learned to pray.
B
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
A E
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
B F#m
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.
B
I can fold my hands and bow my head,
A E
But there's just some things that can't be said
F#m Abm A
Without a little walk on water kind of faith.
E
And that's how I learned to pray.

Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky,
felt a tug at your heart

Didn't know why but you just knew
E A E
Someone is up there lookin' out for you.
B E A
Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace.
B E
That's how I learned to pray.
