G/B    Em7
Hey God

[Verse 1]
             Dsus4/F#            G
I'm not sure if      you're there
                          C
But if you are I need a favor
                       G/B
Tell Alley I'm allright
Em7                      Dsus4/F#  G
   The bible says you've never lied
                             C
You owe me nothing Lord but I
                            D/A
Thought that maybe just one time

[Chorus]
             Cadd9
Don't tell Alley  that without her
          G              D/A
I've been stoned every hour
                 Cadd9                        G    D/A
I've killed damn near every flower that she's grown
               Cadd9
That the babies     miss their mama
             G             D/A
I don't know how to be a father
        Cadd9                              G    D/A
Without her  gentle heart mine's turned to stone
                Em7             Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
She couldn't be happy up in heaven if she knew
                     Em7         Dsus4/F#       Cadd9
Since she's been gone   seems my life    is over     too
              Em7  Dsus4/F#
So don't tell Alley

[Bridge]
G           Cadd9 G/B
 Don't tell Alley

[Verse 2]
Em7                       Dsus4/F#
   Could you tell her I've
been
G                           C
 Eating 3 square meals a day
                                    G/B
It's been a year I'm making progress
Em7                              Dsus4/F#
   That I've been a perfect Christian
G                           C
Superman to all our children
                               G/B
And that I'm not a Goddamn mess
      Em7                          Dsus4/F#   G
Don't tell her that I've fallen off        the narrow
       C                          G       D/A
I'm so full of alcohol it's in my bone marrow
               Em7               G
There's a space   she used to lay and it
    C              G
Rips my soul to say
          Em7                 G        D/A
I've been trying to fill it up in shameful ways

[Chorus]
             Cadd9
Don't tell Alley  that without her
          G              D/A
I've been stoned every hour
                 Cadd9                        G    D/A
I've killed damn near every flower that she's grown
               Cadd9
That the babies     miss their mama
        G               D/A
I don't know how to be a   father
       Cadd9                        G              D/A
Without     her gentle heart mine's turned to stone
                Em7             Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
She couldn't be happy up in heaven if she knew
                     Em7         Dsus4/F#       Cadd9
Since she's been gone   seems my life    is over     too
              Em7  Dsus4/F#
So don't tell Alley

[Bridge]
G           Cadd9
 Don't tell Alley

[Interlude]
G/B      Em7                          Dsus4/F#   G
   Don't tell her that I've fallen off        the narrow
       Cadd9                      G       D/A
I'm so full of alcohol it's in my bone marrow
               Em7               G
There's a space   she used to lay and it
    C              G
Rips my soul to say
          Em7                 G        D/A
I've been trying to fill it up in shameful ways

[Chorus]
           Cadd9
Don't tell Alley that without her
          G              D
I've been crying every hour
        Cadd9                                   G D/A
I killed     all of her flowers that she's grown
           Cadd9
That the babies miss their mama
            G            D/A
And I don't wanna be a father
       Cadd9                              G        D/A
Without     her gentle heart mine's turned to stone
                Em7             Dsus4/F#  Cadd9
She couldn't be happy up in heaven if she knew
                     Em7         Dsus4/F#       Cadd9
Since she's been gone   seems my life    is over     too
So don't tell Alley
