G                                  C          G
Mama's got an ice pack on her cheek from late last night

                                    C             D
Brother's got a Batman blanket he's still holding tight

          Em              D      G
There's a hole beside the wooden cross

                 C
Hanging on the wall

           Em7            D         G
She's been thinking about taking it down

C
Wondering if it's all

         G
Good for nothing
[Verse 2]
G                               C                  G
And daddy's waking sober in the parking lot of the bar

                            C               D
Staring at the Bible verses tattooed on his arm

        Em           D        G                         C
But the devil on his shoulder sounds a lot like his old man

Em7              D        C
Telling him he's always been
[Chorus]
         C
Good for nothing

                         G
Like Nazareth, where the Son of Man was born

         Em7
Good for nothing

                     D
Like two fish in the hands of a little boy

         C                                        Em    D        C
Good for nothing's what they said He was, driving nails into His hands

     Em          D      C
He's been to the gravе and back

           Em     D   C
I guess He didn't do all that

         G
Good for nothing
[Verse 3]
G                                          C                G
So he criеd and talked to God as he pulled up to that front door

                                    C                D
He finally found forgiveness had to have it from one more

   Em              D/F#  G                      C
He told her he was sorry but the only thing she heard

             Em                      D          C
Was all them up and night, black and blue eyes, prayers that she prayed weren't
[Chorus]
         C
Good for nothing

                         G
Like Nazareth, where the Son of Man was born

Like two fish in the hands of a little boy

     Em          D      C
He's been to the gravе and back

           Em     D   C
I guess He didn't do all that

              G
Good for nothing

         Em7     D
Good for nothing
[Bridge]
     Em7                    G
Lord knows this world ain't perfect with the rough shape that we're in

      D       G        Em                  D                  C
Thank God our good for nothing's more than good enough for Him
[Out-Chorus]

Good for nothing

                         G
Like Nazareth, where the Son of Man was born
