(Verse 1)
CBb
Sweet Jesus, I was coming to pray
FAmC/E
But all the hip kids sent You running away
CBbF
You got egg on your face, but the faithful keep washing your feet
CBb
Wish it was simple but it's trouble to say
FAmC/E
Cause nobody believes that there's a debt to be paid
CBbF
For the things that come easy day after day, week after week
(Chorus)
CBbF/A
I am the champion of wine
FC
You're the bread on my tongue
BbF/A
I am the last one in line
G
The prodigal
CBbF/A
I am the champion of wine
FC
You're the bread on my tongue
BbF/A
I am the last one in line
G
The prodigal son
(Verse 2)
CBb
Sweet Jesus, I was coming to pray
FAmC/E
But Lord, I've been so busy and it kept me away

I got egg on my face, so I hide away where no one can see
CBb
Wish it was simple but it's trouble to say
FAmC/E
Cause nobody believes that there's a debt to be paid
CBbF
For the things that come easy day after day, week after week
(Chorus)
CBbF/A
I am the champion of wine
FC
You're the bread on my tongue
BbF/A
I am the last one in line
G
The prodigal son
CBbF/A
I am the champion of wine
FC
You're the bread on my tongue
BbF/A
I am the last one in line
G
The prodigal
