The Struggle

[INTRO] [x2]
Gb  Db   Gb / Db  Gb  Db Ab 

[VERSE 1]
Gb              Db
He woke up this morning
      Gb           Db
To an angel in his bed
            Gb           Db       
There was a devil in the bottle 
       Ab
He was holding in his hand
         Gb                 Db
With his head still full of whiskey
        Gb               Db 
and his eyes now full of tears
Gb                Db
  He dusted off a bible 
        Ab
That he hadn’t read in years and he said

[CHORUS 1]
Gb     Ab          Bbm9
  I am tired, I am torn
Gb            Ab          Bbm9   Ab
  and I can’t take it any more
Gb             Ab          Db      Ab/C  Bbm    Ab
  You see this bottle has  been my only  friend
    Gb                  Absus          Bbm
But here I am to you my heart to you I give
    Gb             Ab              Db      Gb/Db  Db
Oh, Father can you take away these tears

[VERSE 2]
    Gb                  Db
She struggles with ad - dic - tion
    Gb               Db
She struggles to fit in
          Gb              Db
She takes too much medi - cation 
   Ab
To cover up her tears
    Gb               Db
One pill to make her happy
    Gb            Db
Too many make her sad
         Gb          Db
Then she notices the Bible
       Ab       
In the hotel by her bed, she says,

[CHORUS 2]
Gb      Ab         Bbm9
  “I am weary I am worn”
Gb      Ab                Bbm9   Ab
  And I can’t take it any more
Gb             Ab     Ab/C Db      Ab/C  Bbm    Ab
  You see this bottle has  been my only  friend
    Gb                  Absus          Bbm9
But here I am to you my heart to you I give
Gb             Ab              Db
Father can you wash away these sins

[BRIDGE]
Ab         Gb                  Db    
  Then the sun came up and the skies turned blue
Ab             Gb              Db    
  And the pain   they knew was gone
Ab           Gb              Db   
  And as the old life died a new life it was born
Eb7                        Ab
  It was a life they never knew
