          (C)                 (C7)              (F)           (C) 
There's an old tear stained, worn King James Bible on my lap 
      (C)                                       (G)             
I can hear mama now say it won't let you down and it never has 
     (C)                     (C7)                       (F)     (F/E)      (Dm) 
So I turned to the Psalms, straight to the one that I can quote by heart 
        (C)                                 (G)           (C) 
But the words that used to comfort me Are tearing me apart 



   (F)                                          (C) 
He leadeth me through death's dark valley and by still waters too 
(F)                                 (C)             (G) 
Surely goodness and his mercy are gonna pull me through 
      (C)                   (C/B)             (Am)                (Dm) 
But tonight I've wrestled with the devil, wrestled with the truth 
       (C)                                         (G)                   (C)  
If the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want, why do I still want you 


All my friends say this will end, you're not the one I need 
'Cause I'm the kind that loves for life and you're the kind that leaves 
So I've been praying and I've been waiting for some kind of peace 
But you haven't phoned and I'm leaning on old Psalms twenty three
