Standard (EADGBE)
Im lookin down, come help me up, been stumblin round to, tryin' and fill my cup.
It's half empty, been that way all my life, so come pour some in and take me out tonight.
The sun is shinin' but we stay inside (oh but we go out at night),
Stay in lookin' for a better life (oh but we go out at night),
Put up curtains block out the light (oh but we go out at night)
And we stay in bed 'till we feel alright (oh but we go out at night)
Bridge*: X 6 times (first two times just guitar, next four share contain two loops
of the lyrics below)
I need meaning
I need a mission
I need a path
I need conviction
I need a life I've never had
I need much more good & much less bad
The sun is shinin' but we stay inside (oh but we go out at night),
Stay in lookin' for a better life (oh but we go out at night),
Put up curtains block out the light (oh but we go out at night)
And we stay in bed 'till we feel alright (oh but we go out at night)
Repeat Bridge Riff: X 6 times (this time all the lyrics are read once, starting
from the third time)
I found meaning
I found a mission
I found a lord
I found religion
I found something I never had
I'm not sure what but it's not half bad
& I'm glad
I'm so, so glad
Those party habits are gone & dead
I'm turning in my old sinful ways
For a dull new life so I can pray, pray, pray
The sun is shinin' but we stay inside (oh but we go out at night),
Stay in lookin' for a better life (oh but we go out at night),
Put up curtains block out the light (oh but we go out at night)
And we stay in bed 'till we feel alright (oh but we go out at night)
(oh but we go out at night)
(oh but we go out at night),
(oh but we go out at night)
(oh but we go out at night)
I need a life
I've never had
I need so much more good, lord
& much less bad
Repeat chord progression until outro
Not sure about the outro, input would be much appreciated!
