Sinner's Prayer

Written by Slaid Cleaves/Rod Picott

Capo on 1st fret
	  		 
 
Bm 
I'm not living like I should 
Bm 
I want to be a better man 
Bm 
A sinner's prayer upon my lips 
Bm 
A broken promise in my hand 
                       E 
I know that there will come a day 
                   Bm 
A heavy price I'll have to pay 
                        E 
I keep pretending to be good 
F#                        Bm  
But I'm not living like I should  
 
 
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 
I walk this town just like a ghost 
I don't know what I miss the most 
I'd believe in something if I could 
I'm not living like I should  
 
Solo 
 
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 
They know the soul and what it hides 
You sometimes see it in their eyes 
A guilty man where a child once stood 
I'm not living like I should  
 
I'm not living like I should 
The wolves howl, the robin sings 
The world keeps spinning round and round 
I wait for mercy's angel wings 
Another day another year 
Death keeps whispering in my ear 
I say a prayer I knock on wood 
I'm not living like I should  
 
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 hands 
A squandered gift, a wasted day 
Time chases life away 
I just wanted to be good 
But I'm not living like I should
