Lyrics

[Intro]
  G#m             B                F# C#
I only talk to God when I need a favor
      G#m             B               F# C#
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
   G#m                        B                     F#
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior,
  C#
oh
     G#m             B                F#
If I only talk to God when I need a favor?
                     G#m
But, God, I need a favor

[Verse 1]
        B
I know amazin' grace,
           F#                 C#
but I ain't  been livin' them words
G#m              B
   Swear I spend most Sundays
      F#                C#
Drunk off my ass than I have at church
G#m                B
   Hard cover King James
          F#                 C#
Only been savin' dust on the nightstand
G#m                         B
   And I don't know what to say
       F#             C#
By the time I fold my hands

[Chorus]
  G#m             B                F# C#
I only talk to God when I need a favor
      G#m             B               F# C#
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
   G#m                        B                     F#
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior,
  C#
oh
     G#m             B                F#
If I only talk to God when I need a favor?
     C#              G#m B
But, God, I need a favor

[Post-Chorus]
     F# C#    G#m
Amen,     amen

[Verse 2]
                B
Yeah, I owe you more than one
    F#               C#
And beggars can't be choosers
G#m                 B
   But I'll pay for all I've done
     F#                  C#
Just please don't let me lose her

[Chorus]
  G#m             B                F# C#
I only talk to God when I need a favor
      G#m             B               F# C#
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
   G#m                        B                     F#
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior,
  C#
oh
     G#m             B                F#
If I only talk to God when I need a favor?
     C#              G#m B
But, God, I need a favor

[Post-Chorus]
     F# C#    G#m B
Amen,     amen
     F# C#
Amen,     amen

[Bridge]
G#m             B
Hangin' in there just barely
F#                 C#
Throwin' up prayers  like Hail Marys
G#m                   B
If You're still there, Lord, spare me
F#                   C#
  Oh, my God, oh, my God, Hail Mary
G#m             B
Hangin' in there just barely
F#                 C#
Throwin' up prayers  like Hail Marys
G#m                   B
If You're still there, Lord, spare me
F#                   C#
  Oh, my God, oh, my God, Hail Mary

[Chorus]
G#m             B                F# C#
Only talk to God when I need a favor
      G#m             B               F# C#
And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
           G#m     B        F#              C#
So tell me who the hell am I  to expect a savior,
       G#m             B                F#
When I only talk to God when I need a favor?
     C#              G#m B
But, God, I need a favor

[Outro]
    F#
Amen
C#              G#m B
God, I need a favor
    F# C#
Woah
Amen
