verse 1 
        F           C 
Now he woke up this morning 
        F            C 
With an Angel in his bed 
            F            C 
There was a Devil in the bottle 
       G              Am 
He was holding in his hand 
         F                  C 
With his head still full of whiskey 
        F                C 
And his eyes now full of tears 
   F            C             G               Am 
He dusted off a bible, That he hadn't read in years 
 
 N.C. 
And he said 
 F       G          Am 
Now I am tired I am torn 
F           G       Am 
And I can't take it anymore 
F            G       C        G/B     Am 
You see this bottle, Has been my only friend 
F          G                        Am 
But here I am my heart to you I.... give  
F                 G               C 
Oh father can you take away these tears 

verse 2 
F                  C 
She struggles with Addiction 
F                    C 
She struggles to fit in 
F                  C 
She takes too much medication 
G               Am 
To cover up her tears 
F                   C 
One pill to make her happy 
F                 C 
Too many make her Sad 
F                  C             G            Am 
Then she notices a bible, in the hotel by her bed 

N.C. 
And she says 
F    G          Am 
I am weary I am worn 
F           G       Am 
And I can't take it anymore 
F            G       C        G/B     Am 
You see this bottle, Has been my only friend 
F          G                 Am 
But here I am my heart I.... give  
F                    G       C 
Oh father can you wash these sins 

Ending 
F                 G                      Am 
Then the sun came up and the skys turned blue 
F                 G        Am 
And the pain they knew was gone 
F             G           C    G/B         Am 
And as the old life died a new life it was born 
F             G          C 
It was a life they never knew....... 
 N.C.                                   F-C F-C G 
Until they followed you
