E MajorE
🎸 Verse 1:
E MajorE
I ain't ever worn a halo
Don't suppose I ever will
As far as saving me goes
It's a battle up a hill
A augmentedA
But I keep climbin', tryin', fightin'
E MajorE
Got a King James in the dresser
And I take it out sometimes
E MajorE
But Lord knows, I ain't measured
Up to what's inside
A augmentedA
And they say, "But that's okay"
But I keep praying for the day
🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA
That I can open up that good book
And Heaven don't look
E MajorE
Like it's out of reach
A augmentedA
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
C# minorC#m
And not the third degree
BB

A augmentedA
Like Bible verses
BB E MajorE
And not the Biblе versus me

I woke up in last night's clothеs
And it's whisky on my lips
If God's looking down, I know

But I have faith that I can change
I keep praying for the day
🎸 Chorus:
A augmentedA
That I can open up that good book

And not the third degree
