[Db] [Ab]
[Db] I [Ab] can't always stand by [Db] myself, the Lord [Ab] knows I try
[Db] [Ab] And I ain't as tough as I seem, sometimes, as much [Ab] as I fight
[Db]
[Eb] Tonight I'm leaning on the Bible, [Ab] with the Bible in my hand
[Eb]
And kneeling like you taught me, [Ab] by this empty king-size bed
Sometimes I pray, but not like I would if you were here
Sometimes I drink a little more than I should, to fight back these tears
But [Eb] when I'm holding on to my last breath, [Ab] and I'm drowning in that drop that slipped
And he knows I don't know what to say, sometimes I pray
And
[Db]
[Ab] I've gave him the blame for my pain, time after time
And I've walked a fine line between hell and playing with fire
I still wonder why he listens, as I stumble for words
But that red and white gets clear, with every single verse
Sometimes I pray, but not like I would if you were here
Sometimes I drink a little more than I should, to fight back these tears
But when I'm holding on to my last breath, and I'm drowning in that drop that slipped
And he knows I don't know what to say, sometimes I pray
Yeah, oh, oh, mmm
Sometimes I pray, but not like I would if mama was here
Sometimes I drink a lot more [Db] than I should, [Ab] to drown out these tears
[Eb] But when I'm holding on to my last [Ab] breath, and I'm drowning in that drop that slipped
And he knows I don't know what to say, sometimes I pray
Sometimes I pray, mmm
[Db] I [Ab] can't always stand by [Db] myself, the Lord [Ab] knows I try
[Db] [Ab] And I ain't as tough as I seem, sometimes, as much [Ab] as I fight
