The Cover By Jason Sturgeon
Intro DGDG
D G
At the bottom of my dresser forgotten, put away,
D A
There laid momma's Bible, she gave me on my birthday.
D G
The cover of that old good book showing all its age
D A
Just like me and my cover is worn, I've seen my better day.
D G
And I was still a young boy, I've seen trouble come along,
D A
Had a chip up on my shoulder, I still knew right from wrong
D G
I fought my way through high school and might have lost my way,
D A
Oh yes, I've done a lot of foolish things
D
But still found time to read
Chorus:
G D
Is the not the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
G A D
A man that's worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light,
D G
I know that I'm a sinner, but there's a saint inside of me,
D A D
Yes I'm the pages not the cover if you could look inside you'd see.

D G
Now its ten years later, and I've learned a thing or two,
D
And I keep my distance from those things,
A
A troubled man would do
D G
And I ask for forgiveness everyday from up above,
D A D
I'm still trying not to hate, still learning how to love!
Chorus:
Its the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
A man that's worn and tattered has a soul that's filled with light
I know that I'm a sinner, but there's a saint inside of me,
Yes I'm the pages not the cover if you could look inside you'd see.
