[Intro]
Dm F C G 
(x2)
 
[Verse 1]
Dm             Bb                     G
If you ask the New York Times, they'll say that I'm dead
Dm             Bb                     G
And if Rolling Stone, they'll say I'm uninviting
Bb             Dm                      C
I don't really give a fuck, it's no surprise
  G                      Bb
I never had friends here either
              Dm                          C
Still I'm on a run with the light in my eyes
           G
And if you did it wouldn't happen either
 
[Chorus]
Dm        F          C              G
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm            F           C        G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
           Dm        F
That don't mean they stop
         C                G
They can fight for what's right and I will
Dm                      F
'Cause I don't have the time to kill
    C                   G
And I, I don't have the will
 
[Verse 2]
Dm             Bb                G
If you see the light in my eyes, know I'm shining
Dm              Bb                 G
I walk my road alone 'til here, so I'll keep riding
Bb                Dm                       C
I don't need your love, I've been this far down
G                      Bb
Back into the New York City
                Dm                     C
I've been sober for eleven years right now
        G
If that don't mean a thing, well, I tried
 
[Chorus]
Dm               F          C              G
'Cause sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm            F          C        G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
            Dm            F
And I won't stop, I won't fight
             C               G
I'll just stray towards the light
       Dm               F          C              G
'Cause I know sometimes bad things happen to good people
 
And that's mine
 
[Bridge]
Bb     Dm
Jesus, walk with me
C                            G           Bb
I don't have anything I can offer up to you
       Dm               C
But Jesus can comfort me
                     G                       Bb
I don't really wanna drink, some powder will do
       F
Heaven is on Earth
C                Em
I have peace and that's more than you
Bb                 F             Am
I can live in the light like a maniac
                  G
In the stars attack, in the zodiac
 
[Interlude] (optional)
Dm F C G 
(2x) 

So ride for the first time and die for the last time
I'm with the angels and I'm stressed in the back row
Keeping me harder, I try and I start
But I'm scared I won't catch up and it don't matter
 
[Chorus]
Dm        F          C              G
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm            F          C        G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
           Dm            F
And I will fight for the right
               C          G
To keep on making art out of my life
Dm          F             C
Fight for the right to be different
         G
In a world full of fake bitches
              [Verse 1]
If you ask the New York Times, they'll say that I'm dead
And if Rolling Stone, they'll say I'm uninviting
I don't really give a fuck, it's no surprise
I never had friends here either
Still I'm on a run with the light in my eyes
And if you did it wouldn't happen either

[Chorus]
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
That don't mean they stop
They can fight for what's right and I will
'Cause I don't have the time to kill
And I, I don't have the will

[Verse 2]
If you see the light in my eyes, know I'm shining
I walk my road alone 'til here, so I'll keep riding
I don't need your love, I've been this far down
Back into the New York City
I've been sober for eleven years right now
If that don't mean a thing, well, I tried

[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes bad things happen to good people
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
And I won't stop, I won't fight
I'll just stray towards the light
'Cause I know sometimes bad things happen to good people
And that's mine
