 CLOSER TO FINE

 

Indigo Girls

 

[G][G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D] [G][G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

 

I'm [G] trying to tell you [G6/A] something 'bout my [C9] life [Ds][D][D9][D]

[G] Maybe give me [G6/A] insight between [C9] black and white [Ds][D][D9][D]

And the [D11] best thing you've ever done for [C] me

Is to [D11] help me take my life less serious-[C]-ly;

It's only life [G] after all [C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

 

Well [G] darkness has a [G6/A] hunger that's in-[C9]-satiable [Ds][D][D9][D]

And [G] lightness has a [G6/A] call that's hard to [C9] hear [Ds][D][D9][D]

I [D11] wrapped my fear around me like a [C] blanket

I [D11] sailed my ship of safety till I [C] sank it; I'm [G] crawling [D] on your [G] shore

 

I [D] went to the doctor, I [C9] went to the [G] mountains

I [D] looked to the children, I [C9] drank from the [G] fountain

There's [D11] more than one answer to these [C] questions pointing me in a [G] crooked line

And the [D11] less I seek my source for some [C] definitive,

The closer I [G] am to fine, [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

The closer I [G] am to fine [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

 

I [G] went to see the [G6/A] doctor of phil-[C9]-osophy [Ds][D][D9][D]

With a [G] poster of Ras-[G6/A]-putin

And a [C9] beard down to his knee [Ds][D][D9][D]

  He [D11] never did marry or [C] see a B grade movie

He [D11] graded my performance, he [C] said he could see through me

I spent [D11] 4 years prostrate to the [C] higher mind, Got my paper and I was [G] free

 

I [D] went to the doctor, I [C9] went to the [G] mountains

I [D] looked to the children, I [C9] drank from the [G] fountain

There's [D11] more than one answer to these [C] questions Pointing me in a [G] crooked line

And the [D11] less I seek my source for some [C] definitive,

The closer I [G] am to fine, [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

The closer I [G] am to fine, [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

 

I [G] stopped by the [G6/A] bar at 3 [C9] A.M. [Ds][D][D9][D]

To seek [G] solace in a [G6/A] bottle or [C9] possibly a friend [Ds][D][D9][D]

And I [D11] woke up with a headache like my [C] head against a board

[D11] Twice as cloudy as I'd been the [C] night before, and I went in seeking [G] clarity

 

I [D] went to the doctor, I [C9] went to the [G] mountains

I [D] looked to children, I [C9] drank from the [G] fountain

We [D] go to the doctor, we [C9] go to the [G] mountains

We [D] look to the children, we [C9] drink from the [G] fountain

We [D] go to the bible, we [C9] go through the [G] workout

We [D] read up on revival, we [C9] stand up for the [G] lookout

There's [D11] more than one answer to these [C] questions pointing me in a [G] crooked line

And the [D11] less I seek my source for some [C] definitive,

The closer I [G] am to fine, [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D]

The closer I [G] am to fine, [G6/A][C9][Ds][D][D9][D] [G]

 

 

 

Don't be put off by the complicated-looking chords. When you look at the finger positions, you'll see that the finger movements in the chord changes are not all that difficult. But it makes you sound great when you get it right!
