Verse 1:
G                      C              D              G
I'm not proud of the fact that I've used his name in vain
    C                 D              G 
and I ain't set in a pew in a few Sundays
                              Am
and I don't always turn the other cheek
                       C
and I worked on the Sabbath last week
                    G
and there's been a few things
            C               D                   G
and a few women that have done more than just tempt me
    C                       D                G
My hearts been filled with hate, greed and envy
     Am                            C
But I believe Jesus died to save souls like me

Chorus:
          C              
'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am
          G
Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand
       Am
But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head
                C                  D               Em
and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness
        C                   G  
He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.

Verse 2:
   G
If heaven had a limit
        C           D                     G
On the number of commandments you could break
   C               D             G
Before they just cast your soul away
            Am
Well then there's no doubt
                           C
Where I'll be headin' when I check out

Chorus:
          C               
'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am
          G
Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand
       Am
But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head
                C                  D               Em
and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness
        C                   G  
He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.

Bridge:
          Am
Yeah I'm a good guy
                   C
Most the time my heart's in the right place
        Am
But I have my days
                      D
Where I run a little low on faith
    C                       D
So far from grace, that I lose my way

Chorus:
          C               
'Cause I'm a sinner, That's just what I am
          G
Sometimes the devil, Can get the upper hand
       Am
But I hit my knees, Close my eyes and bow my head
                C                  D               Em
and thank the good lord that when it comes to forgiveness
        C                   G  
He's no quitter, 'Cause I'm a sinner.
