We were there at the church when the doors were open

There's just something about that name
D
The preacher man used to close with a prayer
G
And, "Raise your hand if you need saving"
A
I lost track of how many times
G A
I bowed my head and I closed my eyes
Chorus:
We were
G
Saved every Sunday
D
We were washed by the blood
A
We were raised on amazing grace
Bm A
A Bible belt when we acted up
We were
G
So far from perfect
D
More a sinner than saint
A
We saw the good, the bad along the way
Bm A
But still somehow we found our faith
G
That's who we were
That's how it was
That's what we did
D G D G
We were just church kids
Verse:
D
Yeah, me and my buddies in that back row
G
Flirting with the girls and passing notes
A
'Round that campfire all together

Singing friends are friends forever
