Bible Verses Chords

Drop D, Capo 1
 
[Intro]
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

[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
When it feels like those apostles
 
Are giving me the gospel
                    Bm
And not the third degree
                  A
