        intro:  G, A7Sus4, Cadd9, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D

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.                     closer I am 
G        A7sus9       Cadd2      Dsus4 D Asus4 D   
to fine, yeah

G         A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
D11    (hammer on)    C
He never did marry or see a B–grade movie
D11          (hammer on)  C
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
And I was free. 

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)               C
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.                     closer I am 
G        A7sus9       Cadd2      Dsus4 D Asus4 D   
to fine, yeah

–– break –––

G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
D11          (hammer on)          C
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
D11          (hammer on)        C
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
C                           G   D  G
I went in seeking clarity. 

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 fountains
D                    Cadd9         G
We go to the doctor, We go  to the mountains
D                          Cadd9             G
We looked to the children, We drank from the fountains
D                   Cadd9             G
We go to the bible, we go through the workout
D                         Cadd9               G
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout

D11         (hammer on)               C
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. 
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
The closer I am to fine
G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D    
The closer I am to fine, Yeah

G          A7Sus4            Cadd9             Dsus4 D Dsus2, D
