| G | Am7 | C | D |
| With a | Gposter of Ra | Am7sputin and a | Cbeard down to his | Dknee |
| D | C |

| G | Am7 | C | D |
| To seek | Gsolace in a | Am7bottle or | Cpossibly a | Dfriend |
| D | C |
| And I | Dwoke up with a headache like my | Chead against a board |
| D | C |
| DTwice as cloudy as I'd been the | Cnight before |
| G |
| And I went in seeking | Gclarity |
| D | C | G |
| And I | Dwent to the doctor, I | Cwent to the | Gmountains |

| I | Dlooked to the children, I | Cdrank from the | Gfountains |

| We | Dlook to the children, we | Cdrink from the | Gfountain |
| D | C | G |
| Yeah, we | Dgo to the Bible, we | Cgo through the | Gworkout |
| D | C | G |
| We | Dread up on revival, we | Cstand up for the | Glookout |
