It's been a long time how are you doing?
Em6                           Em6   Bm
  How is your son how are his children?
              Em6       A
I bet they're just like me
            G
You must be tired, tired, tired
   Gmaj7                                Em7
Of hearing prayers like mine no need to answer
Em6                         Em6   Bm
  Nobody likes knowing that favors
                Em6  A
Are all they'll ever be

                 F#m                                A6
But there's this girl this girl this girl this girl this girl
               Em                         G    Em  A
And I'd be the happiest backslider in the world

If you would tell her it's your will for us to be together

You've seen me try and try to make her love me
Em6                            Em6   Bm
  I'd sell my soul to hear the one thing

She thinks she'll never say

But now it's Sunday Sunday Sunday
        Gmaj7                        Em7
And her pretty voice is rising up to ask you
                         Em6   Bm
Like I once did like I'm about to
             Em6          A   Amaj7
If you could show her the way

Father you of all gods ought to know how little to expect from people

But I think you might be pleasantly surprised to see what this girl

Would bring out                           of me

hang out with you in heaven when we die
