Kill A Prayer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I h[G]it the road, [D]she hit her knees
I was worried 'bout a dream,
she was worried 'bout me
I had [G]a bone dry bottle
She had a worn- out Bible
I was in a [D]band, she was in the choir
She saw the light, and I saw the fire
She was more [G]tent revival,

[Verse 2]
and I was more chasing my jukebox idols
[D]By now I oughta be six- feet
Between the wide ass open and the whiskey
[G]Every road,
every bridge I've burned down
No, thanks to me, it turns out
You [Bm]can't outrun a mama's amen
Even [A]when you're out here runnin' with the devil,
[G]I swear
Yeah, I'm livin' proof that
you can't kill [D]a prayer
Can't kill a prayer
[G]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I was hard- [D]headed,
stubborn as can be
Thank God she was more
stubborn than me
Bowin' [G]her head every night
with me on her mind
Had to have Heaven workin' overtime,
[D]'cause

[Verse 4]
By now I oughta be six- [D]feet
Between the wide ass open and the whiskey
[G]Every road,
every bridge I've burned down
No, thanks to me, it turns out
You [Bm]can't outrun a mama's amen
Even [A]when you're out here runnin' with the devil,
[G]I swear
Yeah, I'm livin' proof that
you can't kill a prayer
[D]You can't kill a prayer
[G]

[Verse 5]
Yes, she's [Bm]late night back porch
light on red word [A]readin'
Faith keepin', talking to Je[G]sus

[Verse 6]
Reason I'm even breathin'
[D]By now I oughta be six- feet
Backwoods front page, small town [A]history
[G]Every road,
every bridge I've burned down
No, thanks to me, it turns out
You [Bm]can't outrun a mama's amen
Even [A]when you're out here runnin' with the devil,
[G]I swear
Yeah, I'm livin' proof that you can't
kill [D]a prayer (ooh)
You can't kill a pray[G]er

[Outro 1]
You can't kill a prayer
[D][G]
