[INTRO]
[C] [G/B] [F] [G] (8x)

[VERSE 1]
[C]The phone [G/B]rings,[F] who could it [G]be [C]
That religious [G/B]guy from [F]Brooklyn [G] [C]
Did we meet by [G/B]accident,[F] yes we did [G] [C]
Did we com[G/B]municate,[F] I guess we [G]did [F]
He says, "I [Caug]pray throughout [G]my salesman's [C]day [Em]
Stay [F]late at a [C]bar and I, hey, hey, hey" [G/B] [F] [G] [C] [G/B] [F] [G] [C]

[VERSE 2]
His wife doesn't [G/B]like him,[F] six kids he's [G]got [C]
The holy thing [G/B]has him [F]tied in a [G]knot [C]
He thinks [G/B]I'm lucky and[F] free [G] [C]
To be who I [G/B]am un[F]ashamed or [G]guilty [F]
I pray [Caug]as every [G]sinner [C]may [Em]
The deep down [F]blues [C]won't go away, [G/B]go aw[F]ay,[G] go[C] aw[G/B]ay [F] [G] [G7] [Em]

[BRIDGE]
[Eb]High above,[Bbaug] way up [F]in the sky
Is there a [Eb]good guy or [Bbaug]anybody [F]watching down
[Eb]Help is on the w[F]ay, but you don't [Eb]know [F]when
[Eb]There's nothing to [F]say
[Eb]Just [F]don't [Eb]go [F]all the way
[C]Round the bend

[VERSE 3]
Goodnight, [G/B]put your [F]head away [G] [C]
Reach a[G/B]cross,[F] turn off the [G]light [C]
Soon you [G/B]fall in[F]to a [G]dream [C]
Far in the [G/B]distance, a [F]fade away [G]scream [F]
I [Caug]pray that we will [G]be all [C]right [Em]
Thanks a[F]gain, we were a[C]live today [G/B] [F] [G] [C] [G/B] [F] [G] [C]
