Bible Verses

D


[Verse 1]
        D
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
           G
But I keep climbin', tryin', fightin'
      D
Got a King James in the dresser

And I take it out sometimes

But Lord knows, I ain't measured

Up to what's inside
             G
And they say, "That that's okay"

But I keep prayin' for the day


[Chorus]
           G
That I can open up that good book

And Heaven don't look
                 D
Like it's out of reach
        G
When it feels like those apostles

Are giving me the gospel
                    Bm
And not the third degree
                  A
I just want it to read
     G

[Verse 2]
       D
I woke up in last night's clothеs

And it's whiskey on my lips

If God's lookin' down, I know

He's really lookin' down on this
           G
But I have faith that I can change

I keep praying' for the day


[Chorus]
           G
That I can open up that good book

And Heaven don't look
                 D
Like it's out of reach
        G
When it feels like those apostles

Are giving me the gospel
                    Bm
And not the third degree
                  A
I just want it to read

D  G  A


[Bridge]
         Em                             G
I'm just tryin' to give myself a little grace
           Em               D/F#   G
'Til those words and me get on the same page


[Chorus]
          G
And I can open up that good book

And Heaven don't look
                 D
Like it's out of reach
        G

And not the third degree
