Slaid Cleaves - Sinner's Prayer


CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: A minorAm

N.C.         A minorAm
I'm not living like I should
I want to be a better man
A augmentedA sinner's prayer upon my lips
A augmentedA broken promise in my hand
            D MajorD
I know that there will come a day
             A minorAm
A augmentedA heavy price I'll have to pay
            D MajorD   E MajorE
I keep pretending to be good
             A minorAm
But I'm not living like I should

N.C.         A minorAm
I'm not living like I should
I've let the mystery slip away
The night goes by in dreamless sleep
I'm chasing foolish things all day
           D MajorD
I walk this town just like a ghost
               A minorAm
I don't know what I miss the most
              D MajorD    E MajorE
I'd believe in something if I could
             A minorAm
I'm not living like I should


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm      D MajorD  A minorAm  D MajorD  E MajorE  A minorAm


N.C.           A minorAm
When people see me on the street
They think they see an honest man
They don't know what lies beneath
But some of them would understand
            D MajorD
They know the soul and what it hides
                A minorAm
You sometimes see it in their eyes
           D MajorD         E MajorE
A augmentedA guilty man where a child once stood
             A minorAm
I'm not living like I should

N.C.         A minorAm
I'm not living like I should
The wolves howl and the robin sings
The world keeps spinning round and round
I wait for mercy's angel wings
          D MajorD
Another day another year
               A minorAm
Death keeps whispering in my ear
            D MajorD    E MajorE
I say a prayer I knock on wood
             A minorAm
I'm not living like I should


INSTRUMENTAL: A minorAm      D MajorD  A minorAm  D MajorD  E MajorE  A minorAm


N.C.         A minorAm
I'm not living like I should
I used to be a better man
A augmentedA sinner's prayer upon my lips
A augmentedA broken promise in my hands
             D MajorD
A augmentedA squandered gift, a wasted day
         A minorAm
Time chases life away
         D MajorD    E MajorE
I just wanted to be good
             A minorAm
But I'm not living like I should
N.C.         A minorAm
I'm not living like I should
