         G
I met a guy outside Bozeman
He liked drinkin' and smokin'
It was fun 'til he asked if
          F          C
we could keep things open
              G
And there was one in LA
G
He had his head screwed on straight
'Til I found out he was married and
    F           C
had one on the way

 G
Mama's been praying
Dm
I'd do some changing
      F
After all this heartbreakin'
      C
It's finally got me thinkin'

Chorus:
        G
I should try Jesus
F                          C
See what all the fuss is about
                 G
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
      F                       C
Cause every other man let me down
               G
Got me singin' "Hey Hallelujah, a-freakin'-men"
F                         C
Baby, I don't need me anybody but him

This one in Miami
Took me home to his family
You know, he swore he was different,
but I ain't met one that isn't
This way I've been livin'
I might need some forgivin'
Thinkin' Sunday mornin',
I need a brand new beginnin'

Chorus:
I'm gonna try Jesus
See what all the fuss is about
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
'Cause every other man let me down
Got me singin', "Hey, hallelujah,
a-freakin'-men" (Amen)
Maybe I don't need me anybody but Him

G
Lord, let your light shine down (Try Jesus)
F                       C
Come and turn my life around
G
No one else is workin' out (Try Jesus)
F                      C
I could use a miracle right about now

Chorus:
I'm gonna try Jesus (Try Jesus)
See what all the fuss is about
Thinkin' I should try Jesus
'Cause every other man let me down
Got me singin', "Hey, hallelujah,
a-freakin'-men" (Amen)
Maybe I don't need me anybody but Him
