Lori McKenna - How To Be Righteous
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em
Don't judge me, I will judge myself
C D
I will lie in my bed at night wide awake or asleep
G G/F# Em
I will feel pain when I know I have given it
C D
Everything I put out to the world I know comes back to me
[Chorus]
C G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
C G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C G A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C G G/F# Em C D
I want to learn how to be righteous
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em
I saw it on a TV show, I bought the book you know
C D
Paid attention when I thought the preacher was talking to me
G G/F# Em
But it's not easy, no, to get over, let it go
C D
All these feelings that are burning and building up inside of me
[Chorus]
C G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
C G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C G A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C G G/F# Em C D
I want to learn how to be righteous
[Verse 3]
G G/F# Em
Well, I'll look at all I have and I will claim it
C D
Won't let anybody else ever tell me who I should be
G G/F# Em
I'll look in the mirror and gaze in my children's eyes
C D
And I will not give a damn what anybody else thinks of me
[Bridge]
C G
And when questions come, I will answer right
C G
Be true to myself, if need be, put up a fight
C G A
Will not heed to greed, I will obey my conscience
C D G G/F# Em C G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
[Chorus]
C G
So, when angels hear the Devils' call
C G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
C G A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
C D G G/F# Em C G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
