Closer to Fine
Indigo Girls
Capo 2
Intro
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
D11 C (G)
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
it's only life after all
Verse 2
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrapped my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
I'm crawling on your shore.
Chorus
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some'm definitive
Closer I am to fine. ...Closer
G A7sus9 Cadd9 Dsus-D-Dsus2-D
I am to fine.
Verse 3
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
And I was free.
Chorus
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some'm definitive
Closer I am to fine. ...Closer
G A7sus9 Cadd9 Dsus-D-Dsus2-D
I am to fine.
Verse 4
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
I woke up with a headache, like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy, as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity.
Final Chorus
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountain
We go to the Bible, we go through the workout
D Cadd9 x G
We read up on revival, and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some'm definitive
Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine
Closer I am to fine
