G
You said come just as you are 
                           Em7
Your skin and bones smell like a bar 
                          Cadd9
You say you want me there this way
Dsus                 G
Okay, well I'm on my way, 
                              G
I'll grab this bottle just in case 
                        Em7
I'm just too ashamed to pray
                                  Cadd9
Well I'm bringing this problem to you now
              Dsus
Yea the prodigal son returns
        Em7                         Dsus
The only way that I know how, the only way that I know how

[Chorus]
                         G
Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter 
        Dsus
Put my hands on the tank and pray
        Em7
Lord I ain't got much to offer
        Cadd9
And I ain't tryin to die this way
        G
So may this bottle be the body
         Dsus
And this bourbon be the blood 
        Em7
If I pour it out will you take my offering
         Cadd9
Give me the strength to never pick it up 
          Em7      Dsus (once)
Yea here I stand,        just as I am 
G    Em7   Cadd9   Dsus

[Verse 2]
                              G
You know most folks don't understand 
                                    Em7
That I'm talkin bout pourin out my best friend
             Cadd9
Damn, it sounds so sad, but that's how it is
             Dsus
And that's why it's gotta end 
            Em7
Lord I've tried it by myself  
            Dsus                 
Forget my pride, I need your help 

[Chorus]
                         G
Gonna drive my steel horse down to the alter 
        Dsus
Put my hands on the tank and pray
        Em7
Lord I ain't got much to offer
        Cadd9
And I ain't tryin to die this way
        G
So may this bottle be the body
         Dsus
And this bourbon be the blood 
        Em7
If I pour it out will you take my offering
         Cadd9
Give me the strength to never pick it up 
          Em7      Dsus (once)
Yea here I stand,        just as I am 

[Verse 3]
G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus
Mmmmmhmmmmmmm
G
So full that river full of tears and whiskey
Em7
Blood I've spilled and voice I've raised 
Cadd9
A thousand loved lost heart broke memories 
Dsus
Scars on the heart and the skin I'm wearin 
Em7            Dsus
Raise me up, a brand new man
Em7                      Dsus           Cadd9 (once)
So I can face this world, just as I am
 
[Chorus 2]
                     G
You said come just as you are 
                     Em7
Skin and bones and broken heart 
                     Cadd9
You kept your word, and here I stand.
           Dsus (once)
Born again,           just as I am
