[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
        E
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
           A
But I keep climbin', tryin', fightin'
           E
Got a King James in the dresser
And I take it out sometimes
    E
But Lord knows, I ain't measured
Up to what's inside
             A
And they say, "But that's okay"
But I keep praying for the day

[Chorus]
           A
That I can open up that good book
And Heaven don't look
                 E
Like it's out of reach
        A
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
                    C#m
And not the third degree
                 B
I just wanted to read
     A
Like Bible verses
            B              E
And not the Biblе versus me

[Verse 2]
       E
I woke up in last night's clothеs
And it's whisky on my lips
If God's looking down, I know
He's really looking down on this
           A
But I have faith that I can change
I keep praying for the day

[Chorus]
           A
That I can open up that good book
And Heaven don't look

        A
When it feels like those apostles
Are giving me the gospel
                    C#m
And not the third degree
                 B
I just wanted to read

[Bridge]
         F#m
I'm just tryin' to give
                A
myself a little grace

'Til those words and me
    E/G#   A
get on the same page
