Slaid Cleaves - Sinner's Prayer CAPO: 3rd Fret INTRO: Am N.C. Am I'm not living like I should I want to be a better man A sinner's prayer upon my lips A broken promise in my hand D I know that there will come a day Am A heavy price I'll have to pay D E I keep pretending to be good Am But I'm not living like I should
N.C. Am 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 I walk this town just like a ghost Am I don't know what I miss the most D E I'd believe in something if I could Am I'm not living like I should INSTRUMENTAL: Am D Am D E Am N.C. Am 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 They know the soul and what it hides Am You sometimes see it in their eyes D E A guilty man where a child once stood Am I'm not living like I should N.C. Am 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 Another day another year Am Death keeps whispering in my ear D E I say a prayer I knock on wood Am I'm not living like I should INSTRUMENTAL: Am D Am D E Am N.C. Am I'm not living like I should I used to be a better man A sinner's prayer upon my lips A broken promise in my hands D A squandered gift, a wasted day Am Time chases life away D E I just wanted to be good Am But I'm not living like I should N.C. Am I'm not living like I should
