Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
Am G F Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am
Sitting in the back
G F
Cause I still got jack on my breath
Am G F
Preacher man rambles but I don’t hear a word he says
Am G
I'm somewhere in the sky but I ain’t reached heaven
F
On cloud nine service ends at eleven
Am G F
I’ve fallen to grace but still can’t find an escape
[Chorus]
Am G
I've taken it way too far this time
F
All I see is darkness when I’m in the light
Am G
Sunday morning sending prayers to the man upstairs
F Am
Folding my hands and closing my bloodshot eyes
G F
I’m so high and she’s the reason why
Am G
There’s so much space between me and amazing grace
F G
But I don’t know what else to do
Am G F
So I’m stoned in a church pew
[Verse 2]
Am
She was an angel
G
Had a hole in her halo
F
Kept me walking that straight line
Am
I held it together
G
When we were forever
F
But that’s the funny thing about time
G F
You only get less of it the more that it goes by
G F G
And I believe the Lord's mad at me so I’m here to ask him why
[Chorus]
Am G
I've taken it way too far this time
F
All I see is darkness when I’m in the light
Am G
Sunday morning sending prayers to the man upstairs
F Am
Folding my hands and closing my bloodshot eyes
G F
I’m so high and she’s the reason why
Am G
There’s so much space between me and amazing grace
F G
But I don’t know what else to do
Am G
So I’m stoned in a church pew
[Interlude]
F Am G F G
[Bridge]
G
It tortures me that she had to leave
F
And that I’m all alone by her headstone
G
It should've been me is what I start to scream
F
I wanna go Lord send me home
[Chorus]
Am G
I've taken it way too far this time
F
All I see is darkness when I’m in the light
Am G
Sunday morning sending prayers to the man upstairs
F Am
Folding my hands and closing my bloodshot eyes
G F
I’m so high and she’s the reason why
Am G
There’s so much space between me and amazing grace
F G F G
But I don’t know what else to do
Am
So I'm stoned in a church pew
