Bad Religion
Spirit Shine
The Gray Race (1996)

  B♭                  D5
  Shed a tear for the criminal
  Give him something to believe
  Light a fire for the miserable
  Give the darkness some meaning       C5 G5

  Closed wounds harbor pestilence      w/ basse b♭  f g e d  f g
  When you lick them from within
  Charity has a redolence
  Chastity cannot rescind

    F             C
    Spirit shine, it's a sign
    G             D     C5 G5
    Of a tortured mind
    F            C
    Spirit shine all the time
    G5 (P.M.) <          (Dm)
          Can render you blind

Dm  B♭ C  x 2

D5 F5 D5  B♭5 C5 (hey)  x 4

You can take it all to heart
Or throw it all away
You can call it just a lark
Or live your life that way

You can give until you're dry
And sucked of all your gleam
You can fake another cry
And compromise your dream

  Cling tight to the parable
  Let it dominate your life            C5 G5
  Create a God who's infallible
  Give your leader some respite        C5 G5

  Closed wounds harbor pestilence      w/ (aah)
  When you lick them from within
  Rosy smiles lose their radiance
  When you take it on the chin         C5 G5

    Refrain  x 2  (2e: D/F♯)
