Praying By The Rules Chords by Luke Bryan

Intro | A E/G# | F#m7 E | D |


A    E/G#                             F#m7
Dear God, can You forgive me for this beer
        E
And the language?
        A              D
Damn, I need Your help down here
  
I was hoping to bend your ear


  A                  E/G#                        F#m7
I ain't kneeled down in my Sunday best, I'm in a field
         E                             D
In dirty denim and I hope that ain't a deal breaker
  
For my dear Savior


     F#m7    E/G#    A
* To help an ol' boy out
          D            A/C#
Without a bible in his hand
        Bm7        E
Showing up just as I am
F#m7     E/G#       A
Hats on, head ain't bowed
             D                A/C#
Ain't got no Southern Baptist pew
           Bm7            E
And I'm as dusty as these boots
  F#m7           E  D
I hope it's cool
                            A 
That I ain't praying by the rules


        A        E/G#                           F#m7
I don't know the ins and outs of how this whole thing goes
        E                                D
And I'm sure you've got a couple million folks, lost souls
           A           E/G#                         F#m7
Waiting in line with a little more important things than mine
    E                  D
But somehow you always find the time


     F#m7    E/G#    A

That I ain't praying by the rules


                     F#m7
I guess I'll let you go
                 E
I'll get to the amen
                      D
But we both know I'll be back
                     E
'Cause I'll need you again


     F#m7    E/G#    A
