Bb F

Verse 2:
Somebody told me not to spend it all on Sundays,
So I went with my own eyes to see,
That the doors'll stay open for praying and hopin',
Come and get your share,
If you have a care, oh no.
But it's hard to believe that you can find what you're looking for, anymore.
Chorus:
Bb Ab
And the way that I make is my own,
F Bb
But I know what I'm in for.
Ab
And it's hard to know how to get home,
F Bb
But I know, what I'm in for.

What you're looking for, oh no.
