The sun is shinin' but we stay inside (oh but we go out at night),
C#m C#m7 (lift pinky finger)
Stay in lookin' for a better life (oh but we go out at night),
F#m F#m
Put up curtains block out the light (oh but we go out at night)
D D
And we stay in bed 'till we feel alright (oh but we go out at night)

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

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
