    G                   G6/A               C9    D D9 D
I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life
      G                G6/A               C9    D D9 D
Maybe give me insight between black and white
        D11                D11           C      C
And the best thing you've ever done for me
      D11              D11              C        C         G        G6/A
Is to help me take my life less seriously; it's only life after all
C9    D D9 D
instrumental

     G               G6/A           C9        D D9 D
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
    G                G6/A                 C9      D D9 D
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
  D11               D11              C      C
I wrapped my fear around me like a blanket
  D11                D11           C           C                  G - D   G
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it; I'm crawling on your shore

  D            D        C9          G
I went to the doctor  I went to the mountains
  D                D        C9             G
I looked to the children  I drank from the fountain
        D11            D11              C        C                 G         G
There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line
        D11             D11              C stop      n.c.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive  the closer
  G          G6/A   C9      us     G         G6/A   C9      D D9 D
I am to fine            The closer I am to fine

   G               G6/A         C9      D D9 D
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
       G             G6/A         C9              D
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
   D11        D11     C              C
He never did marry or see a B grade movie
   D11           D11         C                    C
He graded my performance  he said he could see through me
        G                 D              C9         D              G - D   G
I spent 4 years prostrate to the higher mind  got my paper and I was free

  D            D        C9          G
I went to the doctor  I went to the mountains
  D            D        C9             G
I looked to children  I drank from the fountain
        D11            D11              C        C                 G         G
There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line
        D11             D11              C stop      n.c.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive  the closer
  G          G6/A   C9      us     G         G6/A   C9      D D9 D
I am to fine            The closer I am to fine

(whistle)

  G               G6/A      C9      D D9 D
I stopped by the bar at 3 A.M.
        G            G6/A      C9         D
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
      D11              D11             C              C
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
D11             D11               C                 C                 G     G
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before  and I went in seeking clarity

  D            D        C9          G
I went to the doctor  I went to the mountains
  D           D         C9             G
I looked to children  I drank from the fountain
   D          D         C9        G
We go to the doctor  we go to the mountains
   D             D          C9             G
We look to the children  we drink from the fountain
   D          D        C9            G
We go to the bible  we go through the workout
   D             D        C9 stop           G stop
We read up on revival  we stand up for the lookout
        D11            D11              C       C                  G         G
There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line
        D11             D11              C             n.c.
And the less I seek my source for some definitive  the closer
  G          G6/A   C9      us     G         G6/A   C9      us
I am to fine            The closer I am to fine           The closer
  G          G6/A   C9       D D9 D   G
I am to fine
