The Good News Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Spent my commission
[G]on another diversion
And [A]I 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've
[A]Been too long drifting in [G]a ocean
It's [Em]OK
You just [G]need faith
Been looking [A]for answers
in the wrong [G]place
[Em]But how do I tell him that there
[G]There's something missing?
And [A]I don't got no substance

[Verse 2]
since you've gone
[C]Every day I go dow[Am]n to the water
And [Em]I pray since you left me that [D]way
Oh [C]Lord, I'm trying to [Am]keep my mind
On [Em]the good news that's in my heart

[Verse 3]
[G]
For [A]the good, good news
For [G]the good, good [Em]news[G]
For [A]the good, good news
For [G]the good, good [Em]news[G]
For [A]the good, good news
For [G]the good, good [Em]news[G]
[A]Since my baby left,
my light refuses to shine
Like a bird without a song or
a sun that will not rise
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[Em]Now I can make the eyes
At anyone [G]that I desire
Throwing down [A]with all the lost boys
At [G]the very edge of town
Now [Em]I can spin a lie
That burns me [G]up all through the night
'Cause I've got [A]no one home
to answer to [G]this time
Every [Em]day is a rep[G]eat
Like a carrier [A]bag stuck in a [G]tree
I [Em]used to find my answers in
the gos[G]pels of St. John
But now [A]I find them at

[Verse 5]
the bottom of this shot glass
[C]Every day I go dow[Am]n to the water
And I pray [Em]since you left me that [D]way
Oh Lord, I'm [C]trying [G]to
[A]keep my [Am]sights
[Em]On the good news that's in my heart

[Verse 6]
[G]
For [A]the good, good news
For [G]the good, good [Em]news[G]
For [A]the good, good news
For [G]the good,
good news
(Don't got no meaning [Em]and [G]I
don't got no purpose)
[A]For the good, good news
For [G]the good, good news
(Can't find no [Em]comfort and I
[G]can't find no solace)
[A]Since my baby left,
my light refuses to shine
Like a bird without a song or a

[Outro 1]
sun that will not rise
