Spiritually Bankrupt
Recorded by The Bellamy Brothers
Written by David Bellamy

C
I was an empty vessel 
F            C
Full Of all emotion
            Am
Drowning in pool
G7             C
Of my own self pity


Sold into slavery
       F                  C
By the world and its possessions 
             Am
Rendering my games
G7                 C
To the sins of the city


Now I didn’t care to live
      F               C  
But I did not want to die
                   Am  
Traveling that low road
G7                       C
Made me tired of getting high


I didn’t need nobody
          F                C
But I was running short on love
                Am  
Spiritually bankrupt
G7                  C
And looking for the Lord

     Em   
So I should have died 
              C
So many times before
      Em
But I guess my burned out spirit knew
     Am                  G7 
That there was something more

          C
I had the hounds of hell behind me
F             C
Nipping at my heels
              Am
My days never quicken
G7                         C
Because I had no nerves of steel


I touch the scarlet woman
         F            C
She said son can you afford
                      Am
To be spiritually bankrupt
G7                  C
But looking for the Lord


Still a broken vessel
F                 C
Thirsting for the truth
                    Am
Fending off the numbness
G7                 C
And longing for my youth


My heart remembers praying
         F                C
From the soul of my vocal cords
                Am
Spiritually bankrupt
G7                    C
Still looking for the Lord

                Am
Spiritually bankrupt
G7                     C
Always looking for the Lord
                Am 
Spiritually bankrupt
G7                      C
Someday I will find the Lord
