G+G
You said come just as you are
E minor 7Em7
Your skin and bones smell like a bar

You say you want me there this way

Okay, well I'm on my way,

I'll grab this bottle just in case
E minor 7Em7
I'm just too ashamed to pray

Well I'm bringing this problem to you now

G+G
Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter
E minor 7Em7
Put my hands on the tank and pray

And I ain't tryin to die this way

So may this bottle be the body
E minor 7Em7
And this bourbon be the blood

If I pour it out will you take my offering
