Spent my commission on [G] another diversion and [A] I don't got no meaning, [Em] no [G] purpose left at all.
My pastor tells me that [G] my light is dimming and [A] I've been too long drifting in [G] an ocean.
It's [E] okay, it's [G] me faith, looking [A] for answers in the [G] wrong place.
[Em] But how do I tell him that [G] there's something missing and [A] I don't got no substance since you've gone.
[C] Every day I [Am] go down to the water and [Em] I pray since you've led me [D] that way.
[C] Oh Lord, I try [Am] to keep my mind on [Em] the good news, it's in my [E] heart.

[A] Since that baby left my light refuses to shine like a burning fire, a sun or a sun that will not [E] rise.
[Em] Now I can make the eyes of [G] anyone that I desire running [A] down with all the lost boys at [G] the
very edge of town.
[Em] Now I can swim a line that burns [G] me up or move a knife because I've [A] got no one home to answer
to [G] this time.
Every [Em] day is a [G] repeat like a [A] carried bag stuck in [G] a tree.
[Em] I used to find my answers in [G] the gospels of St.
John, but now [A] I find them at the bottom
of this unshown sand.
[C] Every day I [Am] go down to the water and [Em] I pray since you've led me [D] that way.
