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
Like Bible verses
A D
And not the Bibl? versus me
[Verse 2]
D
I woke up in last night's cloth?s
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
G
Like Bible verses
A D
And not the Bibl? versus me
[Instrumental]
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
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
Like Bible verses
A D
And not the Bibl? versus me
