*The motion between D, Dadd9, or Dtype2 is just a small pinky movement*
Look up "I Need a Life Ukulele" and find a video of Luke playing it to
figure out the strumming and exact rhythms

[Chorus]
C                          D      Dadd9  D
The sun is shining, but we stay inside
G
We stay in looking for a better life
C                      D      Dadd9  D
Put up curtains, block out the lights
G
Yeah, we stay in bed 'til we feel alright

[Verse]
G          Dtype2  Dadd9   D   G

G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
I need a meaning, I need a mission
G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
I need a path, I need conviction
...
I need something, I've never had
...
I need much more good and much less bad.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
G          Dtype2  Dadd9   D   G

G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
I found a meaning, I found a mission
G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
I found a lord, I found religion
...
I found something, I've never had
...
I'm not sure what, but it's not half bad
...
I'm turnin' in my old sinful ways
...
For a dull new life, so I can pray, pray, pray, pray, pray...

[Bridge]
G          Dtype2  Dadd9   D   G

G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
I'm looking down, so come help me up
G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
and stumblin' round, trying to fill my cup
...
It's half-empty, been that way all my life
...
So come poor some in and take out to night

[Outro]
G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
Ohhhh, but we go out at night...
G          Dtype2  Dadd9 D G
Ohhhh, but we go out at night!
