[Verse]
C
Our hands were folded eight-years-old
Am C
Heads were bowed and eyes were closed
C
Just as I am, soft and low
Am C Dm7 Dm7
The invitation hittin' close to home
C
Yeah, and just like it was yesterday
Am C
I hear ole pastor Billy say
C
To get to heaven, there's just one way
Am C Dm7
So I walked down the front and I got saved
G C C/G Am G
And I still remember how to pray
[Verse]
C
At 'round about seventeen
Am C
You couldn't tell me anything
C
I hit the road to chase a dream
Am C Dm7
To say the least, times were lean
C
Tip jars, empty bars
Am C
Back-seat sleeping, beat-up cars
C
Living fast and running hard
Am C Dm7
But even in the mix of messes made
G C C/G
I still remember how to pray
[Chorus]
F
Forgive me, I know I'm not perfect
C
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
F
And sometimes when everything is working
C
I look up and thank Him just because
Dm G
Sometimes I forget and that's OK
F G C
I still remember how to pray
C C/G Am G
C C/G Am G
[Break]
Em F
Yeah, there's a lot of faces and places
C G
That my memory can't recall
Em F
Some disappear in phases and stages
Dm7 G C
And some don't disappear at all-all-all
C C C
Dm7 G
[Chorus]
F
Forgive me, I know I'm not perfect
C
But Heaven knows I know someone who was
F
And sometimes when everything is working
C
I look up and thank Him just because
Dm G
Sometimes I forget and that's OK
Dm7 G
Yeah, every now and then I lose my way
F G C
But I still remember how to pray
C C/G Am G
C C/G Am G
[Outro]
C
Well, now I lay me down to sleep
Am C
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
C
And if I die before I wake
Am C C/G
I pray the Lord my soul to take me
C Am C C/G C Am
I still remember how to pray
C C/G C Am C
