Blake Shelton - Bible Verses Chords

[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
                 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
 
 
[Instrumental]
E  A  B
 
 
[Bridge]
         F#m                            A
I'm just tryin' to give myself a little grace
           F#m              E/G#   A
'Til those words and me get on the same page
 
 
[Chorus]
          A
And 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
