Dave Hause - Surfboard

[Intro]
C G

[Verse 1]
G
I’ve been finding myself praying,
C G
have you seen the shape I’m in?
G D
I’ve been cleaning up my act after a weekend’s worth of sin
G C G
This past year I got let go and then the rent got hard to pay
G D G
So I’m finding myself kneeling down to pray

[Pre-Chorus]
G C G
I keep them clear and small
D G
Little prayers that won’t hurt at all
C G
Clear and small
D
Whispered words float through the walls

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
C
I need a surfboard
C G D
Cause I can’t figure out how to not drown in these waves
G
Dear Lord
C
I saw your billboard
C G D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
C D G
So I’m praying straight away

[Verse 2]
G
I’ve been finding myself praying,
C G
have you seen the shape I’m in?
G D
I know you haven’t seen us lately on Sunday mornings we’re sleeping in
G C G
Fried from treading water in this pool you threw us in
G D G
Waiting for a lesson on how to swim

[Pre-Chorus]
G C G
I keep them clear and small
D G
Little prayers that won’t hurt at all
C G
Clear and small
D
Whispered words float through the walls

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
C
I need a surfboard
C G D
Cause I can’t figure out how to not drown in these waves
G
Dear Lord
C
I saw your billboard
C G D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved
C D G
So I’m praying straight away

[Solo]
G C G D
G C G D

[Chorus]
G
Like Dear Lord
C
I need a surfboard
C G D
Cause I can’t figure out how to not drown in these waves
G
Dear Lord
C
I saw your billboard
C G D
About hell and fire and how I need to be saved

[Outro]
G
Dear Lord
C
Could you send out that surfboard
C G D
And maybe a couple hundred grand so we could stay
G
Dear Lord

G C
If you strike down my landlord
C G D
I’ll be there every week and not just Christmas Day
C D G
Kneeling down to pray
C D G
Kneeling down to pray
C D G
Kneeling down to pray
