(Capo on 1)
(Intro.)
|(D) / / / | x 8
(Verse 1)
I ain't (D)ever worn a halo, don't suppose I ever will
As far as saving me goes, it's a battle up a hill
But I keep (G)climbin', tryin', fightin'
Got a (D)King James in the dresser, and I take it out sometimes
But Lord knows, I ain't measured, up to what's inside
And they say, (G) "That that's okay,” but I keep prayin' for the day
(Chorus)
That I can (G)open up that good book
And Heaven don't look like it's out of reach (D)
When it (G)feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree (Bm)
I just want it to (A)read, like Bible verses (G)
And not the (A)Biblе versus me
|(D) / / / | x 4
(Verse 2)
I woke up (D) 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
But I have (G)faith that I can change, I keep praying' for the day
(Chorus)
That I can (G)open up that good book
And Heaven don't look, like it's out of reach (D)
G
When it (G)feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree (Bm)
I just want it to read (A) like (G)Bible verses
And not the (A)Biblе versus me (D)
(Solo)

(Bridge)
I'm just (Em)tryin' to give myself a little grace (G)
'Til those (Em)words and me get (D/F#)on the same page (G)
(Chorus)
And I can (G)open up that good book
And Heaven don't look like it's out of reach (D)
When it (G)feels like those apostles are giving me the gospel
And not the third degree (Bm)
I just want it to read (A) like (G)Bible verses
And not the (A)Biblе versus me
