Church

Intro G#m F# E G#m F# E [Verse 1] G#m I need a short drink or a long prayer F# I've been sober, but I don't care E I'm so scared of my own self, I get no help, and that's no fair G#m So don't go there, I've been hell and back F# I got scorched hair in this Gucci cap E (I got empty bottles and a million follows, I regret swallowing the Ativan) G#m Fuck it, let's be real F# I resent the way that I feel E (I pretend that it's cool, but I miss gettin' drunk and I'm angry that God doesn't help when I kneel) G#m Fuck it, I said my prayers F# When I got clean, shit just got worse E (I quit doing drugs, and I pleaded with Jesus to save me but he didn't hear my words) G#m This shit don't work, it hurts F# I went to church, now I need liquid courage E Whiskey in my glass, I take the knives out of my back to stir it G#m F# Go to hell and back again, then show you burns to prove I earned it E I need shots or God to gain the strength I need, I'm just a person Chorus G#m F# I pray on my way E To the liquor store that they lock the door G#m F# 'Cause I'll lay in my grave E If the whiskey pours like it did before G#m F# I'm scared, I send out a prayer E Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there? G#m F# 'Cause honestly it hurts and every day is worse E I keep buyin' whiskey when all I need is church [Verse 2] G#m F# I keep talkin' to God, but he don't hear me E And my demons are there, always listenin' G#m F# I get lost in the dark, drownin' in whiskey E And I went in so far, you say you miss me G#m F# I'm on a ship in a bottle, so say goodbye at the shore E Break the glass and you'll find me, I'm not who I was before G#m F# Close my eyes in the darkness and hold on through the storm E I'm a wreck in a bottle, I wasn't built for a war G#m F# E These church pews, bright lights G#m Whiskey glasses, bottles of booze F# Make short days to long nights E The bottle, the Bible, I didn't know what to choose Chorus G#m F# I pray on my way E To the liquor store that they lock the door G#m F# 'Cause I'll lay in my grave E If the whiskey pours like it did before G#m F# I'm scared, I send out a prayer E Can anybody hear me? Is anybody there?
