Slaid Cleaves - Sinner's Prayer
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:
Am
N.C. Am
I'm not living like I should
I want to be a better man
A sinner's prayer upon my lips
A broken promise in my hand
Dm
I know that there will come a day
Am
A heavy price I'll have to pay
Dm E
I keep pretending to be good
Am
But I'm not living like I should
N.C. Am
I'm not living like I should
I've let the mystery slip away
The night goes by in dreamless sleep
I'm chasing foolish things all day
Dm
I walk this town just like a ghost
Am
I don't know what I miss the most
Dm E
I'd believe in something if I could
Am
I'm not living like I should
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am Dm Am Dm E Am
N.C. Am
When people see me on the street
They think they see an honest man
They don't know what lies beneath
But some of them would understand
Dm
They know the soul and what it hides
Am
You sometimes see it in their eyes
Dm E
A guilty man where a child once stood
Am
I'm not living like I should
N.C. Am
I'm not living like I should
The wolves howl and the robin sings
The world keeps spinning round and round
I wait for mercy's angel wings
Dm
Another day another year
Am
Death keeps whispering in my ear
Dm E
I say a prayer I knock on wood
Am
I'm not living like I should
INSTRUMENTAL:
Am Dm Am Dm E Am
N.C. Am
I'm not living like I should
I used to be a better man
A sinner's prayer upon my lips
A broken promise in my hands
Dm
A squandered gift, a wasted day
Am
Time chases life away
Dm E
I just wanted to be good
Am
But I'm not living like I should
N.C. Am
I'm not living like I should
I'm not living like I should
