[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

[Verse 2]

       D
I woke up 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

           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

[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
