[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 [OUTRO]
Gb / Db / | Gb / Db / | Gb / Db / | Ab / / / | Db
Until they followed you
