Lord Im Discouraged Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro E – A – B – A

ELord, I'm discouAraged

BThe circles have sucked in her eyeAs

ELord, I'm discouAraged

BHer new friends have shadowed her life A

ELord, I'm discouAraged

BShe ain't come out dancing for some Atime

EAnd I'm trying to light candles A

BBut they burn down to nothing

AAnd she keeps coming up with

EExcuses Dsus2and halfA-truths and fortified wine

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine

EThere's a house on the soutDsus2h side

Where she stays in forA days at a time

I know I'm no angel

I ain't been bad that way

Can't you hear her?

She's that sweet missing songbird

When the choir sings on Sundays

And I'm almost busted

But I bought back the jewellery she sold

And I come to your altar

And then there's just nothing

And she keeps insisting

The sutures and bruises are none of my business

She says that she's sick

But she won't get specific

The sutures and bruises are none of my business

This guy from the north side

Comes down to visits

His visits, they only take five or six minutes

F♯mLord, I'm sorrAy to quesDsus2tion your wBisdom

But my faith has been wavering

Won't you show me a sign,

And let me know that you're listening?

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine

Excuses and half-truths and fortified wine

I know it's unlikely she'll ever be mine

So I mostly just pray she don't die
