Intro: E  A2  D2  C2 G  E 
 
              E             A2 
You thing I'd have it down by now 
         D2      C2  G         E    
Been practicin' for thirty years 
           E      A2 
I should have walked a thousand miles 
     D2        C2  G   E 
So what am I still doin' here 
             A2                    
Reachin' out for that same old piece of forbidden fruit 
           E 
I slip and fall and I knock my halo loose 
        A2                                                        B2 
Somebody tell me what's a boy supposed to do? 
 
Chorus 
                  E 
Cause I get so clumsy 
             B2 
I get so foolish 
    C#2 
I get so stupid 
                    A2 
And then I feel so useless 
                        E 
But you're sayin' You love me 
                         B2 
And you're still gonna hold me 
                        C#2 
And that You wanna be near me 
                        A 
'Cause You're makin' me holy 
                      D2  C2  G E 
You're still makin' me holy,    yeah 
 
 
 
I'm ganna get it right this time 

I'll be strong and I'll make You proud 

I've prayed that prayer a thousand times 

But the rooster crows and my tears roll down (again) 

Then You remind me You made me from the dust 

And I can never, no never, be good enough 

And that You're not gonna let that come between us 
 
Chorus 
C2 
From where I stand 
      D2              E 
Your holiness is up so high I can never reach it 
C2           D2 
My only hope is to fall on Jesus
