♫ Verse 1:
C                                     F
I could dust the good book off, buy a shot of bottom shelf
                                     G
But hell, what’s gonna heal me, when I can’t help myself
C                              F
I should sit and listen to his words written in red
                                       G
But knowing me I’ll interrupt him with whiskey on my breath
       Dm7               C/E                F
If I’m on a stool, it’ll get me through the night
             Dm7       C/E            F
But if I get to a pew, I might get to see the other side

♫ Chorus:
        C                              G/B
I ain’t tryna be a sinner, but I ain’t livin’ like a saint
    Am7                                   F
Sometimes I drink my dinner, cuz I’ve got too much on my plate
         C                        G/B
And damn right I feel guilty, but she ain’t here no more
          Am7                            G
About the time I go to pray, the devil’s knockin’ on my door
       Am           Em               F
I hate getting over her has to be so hard
F
But losing her’s a losing battle
          G            C

♫ Verse 2:
C                                   F
One talks about the future, and one takes me to the past
                                      G
I keep this place in business, but it shatters me like glass
    C                                F
Cuz there’s a bunch of verses, about being a better man
                            G
But try turning a page with unsteady hands


♫ Chorus:
        C                              G/B
I ain’t tryna be a sinner, but I ain’t livin’ like a saint
    Am7                                   F
Sometimes I drink my dinner, cuz I’ve got too much on my plate
         C                        G/B
And damn right I feel guilty, but she ain’t here no more
          Am7                            G
About the time I go to pray, the devil’s knockin’ on my door
       Am           Em               F
I hate getting over her has to be so hard
F
But losing her’s a losing battle
          G            C

♫ Bridge:
           Am                                   F
And if I’m on a stool, it’ll get me through the night
             Am        Em             F
But if I get to a pew, I might get to see the other side


♫ Chorus:
        C                              G/B

I hate getting over her has to be so hard
             Am           Em               F
Yeah, I hate getting over her has to be so hard
F
But losing her’s a losing battle
          G     N.C.
