The Struggle

        F           C
Now he woke up this morning
        F            C
With an Angel in his bed
            F            C
There was a Devil in the bottle
       G              Am
He was holding in his hand
         F                  C
With his head still full of whiskey
        F                C
And his eyes now full of tears
   F            C             
He dusted off a bible, That he 
G               Am
hadn't read in years

[Chorus 1]
 N.C.
And he said
 F       G          Am
Now I am tired I am torn
F           G       Am
And I can't take it anymore
F            G       C        
You see this bottle, Has been 
G/B     Am
my only friend
F          G                     
But here I am my heart to you 
   Am
I.... give
F                 G               
Oh father can you take away these

tears

[Verse 2]
F                  C
She struggles with Addiction
F                    C
She struggles to fit in
F                  C
She takes too much medication
G               Am
To cover up her tears
F                   C
One pill to make her happy
F                 C
Too many make her Sad
F                  C             
Then she notices a bible, in the 
G            Am
hotel by her bed

[Chorus 2]
N.C.
And she says
F    G          Am
I am weary I am worn
F           G       Am
And I can't take it anymore
F            G       C        
You see this bottle, Has been 
G/B     Am
my only friend
F          G                 Am
But here I am my heart I.... give
F                    G       C
Oh father can you wash these sins

[Ending]
G                 F              
Then the sun came up and the skys
        C
 turned blue
G                 F        C
And the pain they knew was gone
G             F           C
And as the old life died a new life 
it was born
D                         G
It was a life they never knew.......
 N.C.                  F C F C G
Until they followed you
