Elevation Worship feat Maverick City Music - Talking To Jesus

Capo: 4th fret

[Verse 1]
G
Grandma used to pray out loud
G
By her bed every night
G
To me it sounded like mumbling
G
Like she was out of her mind
Am/G G
She said, “Boy, this kind of praying
Am/G G
Is what saved my life
Am/G G
You oughta try it some time”
Am/G G
And now I know she was right

[Chorus]
Am/C G
She was talking to Jesus
Am/C G
She was talking to Jesus
Am/C G
She’d been talking to Jesus
Am/E G
For all of her life

[Verse 2]
Am/C G
Mama used to drag me to church
Am/C G
Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights
Am/C G
Khaki pants and a polo shirt
Am/C G
Boy, I put up a fight
Am/C G
She said, “Son, one day you’ll thank me
Am/C G
For having God in your life”
Am/C G
And yeah, I know she was right
Am/C G
Yeah, my mama was right

[Chorus]
Am/D G
‘Cause now I’m talking to Jesus
Am/C G
She got me talking to Jesus
Am/C G

Am/C G
And I’ll be talking to Jesus
Am/E G
For the rest of my life

[Verse 3]
Am/C G
I’ve got three of my own now
G
Trying to raise them up right
G
My oldest is fifteen
G
And I remember what that was like
Am/C G
Trying to deal with the drama
Am/C G
Trying to figure out the questions in life
Am/C G
And I’ve been looking for a way to show him
Am/C G
How to make it alright
G
Then he walked in my room
Am/C G
While I was saying my prayers the other night
Am/C G
He said, “I’ll come back later
Am/C G
I can tell you got a lot on your mind”
Am/C G
I said, “It’s not an interruption
Am/C G
You couldn’t have picked a better time
Am/C G
‘Cause I was just talking to Jesus
Am/C G
Come over and give it a try”

[Chorus]
Am/D G
We started talking to Jesus
Am/C G
We started talking to Jesus
Am/C G Am/E G
We started talking to Jesus, oh woah, oh

[Verse 4]
G
There’s no wrong way to do it
G
There’s no bad time to start
G
It don’t have to sound pretty
G
Just tell Him what’s on your heart
Am/C G
‘Cause it’s not a religion, come on
Am/C G
‘Cause it’s more like a friendship
Am/C G
So just talk to your Father
Am/C G
Like you are His kid
