E A2 D2 C2 G E
E A2
You thing I'd have it down by now
D2 C2 G E
Been practicin' for thirty years
E A2
I should have walked a thousand miles
D2 C2 G E
So what am I still doin' here
A2
Reachin' out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit
E
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose
A2 B2
Somebody tell me what's a boy supposed to do?
E
Cause I get so clumsy
B2
I get so foolish
C#2
I get so stupid
A2
And then I feel so useless
E
But you're sayin' You love me
B2
And you're still gonna hold me
C#2
And that You wanna be near me
A
'Cause You're makin' me holy
D2 C2 G E
You're still makin' me holy, yeah
I'm ganna get it right this time
I'll be strong and I'll make You proud
I've prayed that prayer a thousand times
But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again)
Then You remind me You made me from the dust
And I can never, no never, be good enough
And that You're not gonna let that come between us
Chorus
C2
From where I stand
D2 E
Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it
C2 D2
My only hope is to fall on Jesus
