(Verse 1)
(G) On a lost and lonely highway, (G) paying for my sins
(G) (Em) If heaven saw me out last Friday I'm (G)lying in it
(G) I'm getting used to getting sideways 'til I can't see straight
(G) Them (Em)angels know they don't look my (C)way
I'm (G)way too gone to save

(Pre-Chorus)
I'm digging my (D)grave, down twelve feet deep
(C)Got none left so I'm on my knees

(Chorus)
(Em) Somebody say a (D)prayer for me
'Cause the (C)pills ran out and I (G)still can't sleep
(Em) Somebody say a (D)word upstairs
'Cause the (C)bar shut down and I'm (G)God knows where
(Em) So should (D)knock on Heaven's (C)door
'Cause mine ain't (G)working any-(Em)more
Somebody say a (D)prayer for me
All I'm (C)asking for is a (G)little mercy, (Em) Amen

(Verse 2)
(G) In a dusty Silverado, running low on grace
Heading (Em)nowhere fast with my (C)feet up on the dash, just (G)hoping I see the day
I ain't (G)asham„ud of the man in the mirror
(C) And the (G)man upstairs ain't eith„ur
And I can (Em)finally set, (C)my life straight and
Be the (G)man my mama raised

(Pre-Chorus)
I'm still digging my (D)grave, down twelve feet deep
(C)Got nothing left so I'm on my knees

(Chorus)
(Em) Somebody say a (D)prayer for me
'Cause the (C)pills ran out and I (G)still can't sleep
(Em) Somebody say a (D)word upstairs
'Cause the (C)bar shut down and I'm (G)God knows where
(Em) So should (D)knock on Heaven's door (C)
'Cause mine ain't (G)working anymore

All I'm (C)asking for is a (G)little mercy, A-(Em)men
