Verse 5
G
Well, now a couple hours passed
Bb
and I was sitting in my house
C
The day was winding down
Bb
and coming to an end
F
G
And so I turned on the TV and
Bb
flipped it over to the news
C
And what I saw,
Bb
I almost couldn't comprehend
G
I saw a preacher man in cuffs,
Bb
he'd taken money from the church
C
He'd stuffed his bank account
Bb
with righteous dollar bills
F
G
But even still I can't say much
Bb
because I know we're all the same
C
Oh yes, we all seek out
G
to satisfy those thrills
