Verse (0:05)
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
          G
For the good, good news
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G  A
      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
Prechorus (2:36)
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 (2:55)
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G        A
   For the good, good news
          G
For the good, good news
E  G  A
      Since my baby left, my light refuses to shine
                                                    E
Like a bird without a song or a sun that will not rise
