C C
born to sin and then get caught
C C
all our good deeds don’t mean squat

G
sell the volvo , shred the visa
A#
send the cash to ma teresa
C
great idea , the only catch is
F
you don’t get saved on merit badges

[ chorus ]

verse 2 :

doctor’s coming , looking grim
’do you have a favorite hymn?’

check your balance through the years
all accounts are in arrears
guilt is bitter , grace is sweet
park it here on the mercy seat

[ chorus ]
