Bible Verses chords by Blake Shelton

Tuning: Half-Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

🎸 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
