Em
Spent my commission on

G
Another diversion and I

A
Don't got no meaning

G
No purpose left at all

Em
My pastor tells me that my

G
My light is dimming and I

A
Been too long drifting

G
In an ocean

     Em
It's OK

               G
You just need faith

                  A
Been looking for answers

               G
In the wrong place

Em
But how do I tell him that the

G
There's something missing and I

A
Don't got no substance since you've gone
Prechorus (0:44)
C               A
Every day I go down to the water

      Em                           G
And I pray since you left me that way

    C                    A
Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind

        Em
On the good news that's in my heart
Chorus (1:03)
E  G        A
   For the good, good news

      Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine

                                                    E
Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
E Verse (1:56)
    Em
Now I can make the eye

     G
To anyone that I desire

           A
Throwing down one for the lost boys

        G
At the very edge of town

    Em
Now I can spin a lie

             G
That burns me up all through the night

                A
Cause I've got no one home to answer to

     G
This time

Em                  G
Every day is in repeat

              A                 G
Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree

    Em                             G
I used to find my answers in the gospels of St John

            A
But now I find them at the bottom of this shot glass

C               A
Every day I go down to the water

And I pray since you left me that way

Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind

        Em
On the good news that's in my heart

      Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine

                                                    E
Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
