D G
He laid 'em both out on the bed so he could take a look
D G
At those six blued steel chambers & Mr. Gideon's Book
D G
The more he drank, the more his head got filled with doubt
D G
One's a harder road, One's the Easy Out
Pre-Chorus
Bm G
The Devil on his shoulder said, "Just go ahead"
Bm A
But the Angel in the room said, "You ain't through here yet"
Chorus
D Em
And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come
G A
And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day
D Em
One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light
G A
And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun
Solo
DEm GA
verse 2
D G
He was drifting through the pages of his past regrets
D A
'Til he stumbled on the part about "The Valley of the Shadow of Death"
D G
And he felt as old as time, but he felt brand new
D A
When he drowned that Smith & Wesson at the bottom of the Motel pool
Chorus
D Em
And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come
G A
And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day
D Em
One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light
G A
And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun

Bm F#m
Walkin' On Water, Back In Galilee
G A
Don't mean near as much to him as the Miracle in Room 23, yeah
Solo
Bm F#m GA
Chorus
D Em
Yeah, he walked through the darkest night and he washed his sins in the morning light
G A
He's thankful for each & every breath that comes
G A D
He looks back on the battle that God won between the bible and the gun
