Pre-Chorus 
C                 A 
I got no sense of purpose 

E           E 
I sit alone I sit alone 

c               A 
Got no sense of belonging 

D               D 
Gettin’ nowhere can’t go home 




E                         E             F  G      G 
There’s no one here me to help me drown my sorrows 

A           B      C       D 
With just a splash of holy water 

E           E           F      G       G 
And I can’t see a thing beyond tomorrow 

A         B    C        D 
Thank the Lord for holy water
