All that I felt on the first time it happened

Was the feeling of something bad coming true

One day I was happy, one day I was laughing
Am
Then, somewhere a chain snapped like that, I was loose
verse 2
Am
Why don't anything give me the joy that it used to?
F
Why don't anything feel as real as it once was?

I feel so sad but that ain't how I choose to

It shouldn't have to hurt so bad but it does

verse 3
Am
It was a summer night when I found my religion
F
I was under the tent, I was struck by the palm
G
And the Holy Spirit rained down upon me a vision
Am
And I felt better a little while but then it was gone
verse 4
Am
I went to the mountain then I went to the cavern
F
I washed myself in the river and I waited on love
G
But I was lonely and dark as the moons around Saturn
Am
Yeah, darkness for miles was all that there was
Verse 5
Am
It was after the Lord and me parted ways that I found her

And she was taking pictures of people who came in to the mall
G
And she took my portrait as well as she could do
Am
With someone who seemed to be not there at all
Verse 6
Am
I stayed with her a while and I called myself happy
F
I clung to her hands, and her hair, and her mouth

But like every man who finds out he is drowning

I held on to her hard until I just wore her out

Verse 7
Am
So I took off south like the beat of a bat wing
F
I fell in with this boat salesman and a kid
G
One carried the nails for his own crucifixion
Am
The other one seemed to screw up whatever he did
Verse 8
Am
The kid always loved me like I was his neighbor
F
He asked all about me and my life on the road
G
And the boat salesman, when he found out he wasn't a savior
Am
Shot himself in the head in a Key West Payday Loan
Verse 9
Am
I got jobs and I lost them like the beat of a drummer
F
Who lost sleep, and got drunk, and couldn't see through his tears
G
And just how I survived, I cannot even remember
Am
But I know that it lasted a couple of years
verse 10
Am
I moved down deep into the jungle during those days

I existed on oranges and oxygen

Reached their limits of power and could not defend

verse 11
Am
I wandered through temples covered over with Saints' days
F
I wandered through drug labs and kidnaps and graves
G
I tried my best to meet death by the jaguar or AK
Am
But I was covered over with grief and by this, I was saved
verse 12
Am
When I was up, I saw the connection between all of all things
F
When I was up, I was so high up above
G
That the world appeared to me electric and thrilling
Am
With a fineness of lightning and the sweet milk of love
verse 13
Am
When I was down, the whole world melted
F
In burning black plastic wherever I chanced to be
G
And off that, I was judged with some kind of a tragic
Am
Mistake that had somehow crawled out of the sea
verse 14
Am
How long until I'm free of these devils that bind me?
F
How long until I live the life that I have?

Can I outstrip a creator who searches and finds me
Am
Then leaves me with the demons that I already have?

verse 15
Am
I went to the doctor who sent me to a doctor
F
Who sent me to a doctor who sent me to a room
G
And that's where I waited with the world ending around me
Am
And the voices in my head jangling 'round in a tomb
verse 16
Am
She gave me a bottle and I took what was in it
F
The stuff in my bloodstream started to rattle and fizz
G
And I know that they're working but the devil is still down there
Am
I tell myself that it's better and sometimes it is
verse 17
Am
What else is there to say but to tell you that I love you
F
I haven't seen much of the world but I know
G
That there aren't any others who know me like you do
Am
And your comfort seems to follow me wherever I go
verse 18
Am
I know you're no cure for the darkness inside me
F
But it feels better just to know that you're near
G
And your patience, your joy, and your strength are astounding
Am
And I know that without you, I wouldn't be here
verse 19
Am
And I know that without you, I would not be here
F
And I know that without you, I would not be here
G
I know that without you, I wouldn't be here

I know that without you
