[Abm]Picked up the [Gb]Book for the [B]first time in [E]ages

Chorus:
[E] So who am I?[B]I? Who am I?
[Abm] Am I just a [Gb]poor preacher's prodigal [E]son?
Troubled child[B]child, running wild[Abm]wild
Chasing the [Gb]glory instead of the [E]One
Who says that I[B]I, even I[Abm]I, have something still [Gb]left to offer?
