(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
(C)  (G)  (Em)Halle-(D)lujah

(Verse 1)
(C) Showed up this morning 'cause I (G)didn't know where else to go
(Em) Needed a word with the (D)Father, Son, Holy Ghost
(C) When I stepped in the (G)lobby, the pastor, he (Em)stopped me
Said, "Lily, where have you (NC)been? It's been a month or so"

(Pre-Chorus)
(G) I told him I've been home
Tryna (Em)get through some goodbye (D)tears (C)
(G) And you don't even know
The (Em)Hell it took to get me here (D)

(Chorus)
Might've been (C)fifteen minutes late (G)
Might've (Em)missed half of the (D)worship
But at (C)least I showed my (G)face
And (Em)showin' up here's the (D)first step
I've been through (C)heartbreak hell, and my whole (G)row can tell
'Cause I (Em)still smell like last night's (D)booze
But I got a (C)last ditch prayer, for the (G)man upstairs
Oh (Em)Lord, would you help me through (D)
Even if I'm in the (C)back pew? (G) (Em) (D)

(Verse 2)
(C) Sat in my car through the (G)first couple services
(Em) Took a drag just to (D)calm down the nervousness
(C) I turned down the (G)music, told myself, just (Em)do it
Threw up a Hail (D)Mary instead of cursin' him

(Pre-Chorus)
(C) I finally (G)caught my breath
For the (Em)first time in way too (D)long
(C) I know I (G)ain't there yet
But the (Em)light in the tunnel turned (D)on

(Chorus)
Might've been (C)fifteen minutes late (G)
Might've (Em)missed half of the (D)worship
But at (C)least I showed my (G)face
And (Em)showin' up here's the (D)first step
I've been through (C)heartbreak hell and my whole (G)row can tell
'Cause I (Em)still smell like last night's (D)booze
But I got a (C)last ditch prayer for the (G)man upstairs
Oh (Em)Lord, would you help me through (D)
Even if I'm in the (C)back pew? (G) (Em) (D)

(Bridge)
I'm singin', (Em)Hal-(D/F#)le-(G)lu-(G/B)jah
(C) I hope it's comin' in (D)clear (I hope it's comin' in clear)
I'm singin', (Em)Hal-(D/F#)le-(G)lu-(C)jah
(C) From all the way back (D)here

(Chorus)
Even though I was (C)fifteen minutes late (G)
And I (Em)missed half of the (D)worship
But at (C)least I showed my (G)face
And (Em)showin' up here's the (D)first step
I've been through (C)heartbreak hell, and my whole (G)row can tell
'Cause I (Em)still smell like last night's (D)booze
But I got a (C)last ditch prayer for the (G)man upstairs
Oh (Em)Lord, would you help me through (D)
Even if I'm in the (C)back pew? (G) (Em) (D)

(Outro.)
(C)Halle-(G)lujah (Em) (D) - - - - -
