G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2, D
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2, D
Maybe give me insight between black and white
D11 (hammer on) C
The best thing you've ever done for me
D11 (hammer on) C
Is to help me take my life less seriously,
G A7Sus4 C Dsus4 D Dsus2, D
it's only life after all
G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
G A7Sus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
D11 (hammer on) C
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
D11 (hammer on) C
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it,
C G,D,G
I'm crawling on your shore.
D Cadd9 G
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
D Cadd9 G
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
D11 (hammer on)
There's more than one answer to these questions
C G D G
pointing me in crooked line
D11 (hammer on) C
The less I seek my source for some definitive
G A7sus9 Cadd2 Dsus4 D Asus4 D
The closer I am to fine.
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.
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
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.
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.
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
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.
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
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.
We go to the bible, we go through the workout
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
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

version 2
This song isn't too hard to play, but it sounds pretty impressive once
you've got it down. I sort of learned to play the guitar on this song.
I've written the chords down according to the way Amy & Emily play the
song, as best as I can figure out from watching TV and stuff. If you're
not quite up to playing D11's or four-fingered C's yet, you can play the
D11's as D(9) or even D, and you can play the C's as x32010, but it won't
sound as good.
I'd recommend learning the full C (332010) anyway if you don't already
know it, because it's a nice chord to know; once you know it, sliding
between it and D11 (554030) is really easy.
On the full-measure C chords, hammer-on and pull-off with your middle
finger on the D string, so that the chord alternates between C and C(9).
The song is actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.
Here's the approximate tab for the introduction, and the part that
you play through the first part of the verses (but when you actually
play it, it's hard to just hit the single note at the beginning of each
chord; usually you hit two or three strings):
G G6/A C (9 fr.) Dsus4 D D (9 fr.) D
E ----3---3-3-3-3-----3---3-3-3-3-|----3---3-3-3-3---2---0---2-2-2-|
B ----3---3-3-3-3-----3---3-3-3-3-|----3---3-3-3-3---3---3---3-3-3-|
G ----0---0-0-0-0-----0---0-0-0-0-|----0---0-0-0-2---2---2---2-2-2-|
D ----0---0-0-0-0-----2---2-2-2-2-|----2---2-2-2-0---0---0---0-0-0-|
A ----2---2-2-2-2-0---------------|3-------------------------------|
E 3-------------------------------|--------------------------------|
^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
Each chord represents half of a measure, except the "Ds,D,D9,D" thing, which
is half a measure total, and "G - D", which is also half a measure total.
"D9" really means D(9), and "Ds" is Dsus. "n.c." means "no chord."
