INTRO:  | G   G/F#    C9 
 
G                G/F#       C9                       G   G/F#            C9 
I thought the time was past when I could find beauty in the words 
G          G/F#               C9        G G/F#               C9 
I set the stage and the scenery, rehearsing every word 
 
Chorus: 
D                                                         C9       G 
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less 
               D                                                                    C9           G 
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else 
G            G/F#             C9                                   G             G/F#           C9 
With my confidence on fire                                       I set to fixing up my role 

                                      (With my confidence on fire) 
G     G/F#             C9                                      G                   G/F#                  C9 
My separation of desires                                      just led me deeper down the hole 

                                    (Oh, separation of desires) 
  
Chorus2: 
D                                                           C9      G 
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less  
               D                                                                    C9            G      
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else, yeah 
D                                                            C9     G 
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less 
               D                                                                    C9           G 
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else  
 
INSTRUMENTAL 
G          G/F#           C9        G       G/F#       C9 
Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be 
G             G/F#                        C9                      G    G/F#   C9    
Hoping to God I was just                                  a temporary absentee 
                             (Oh, I was hoping I was just a temporary absentee) 
 
Chorus2 
 
 
 
 
 
I got lazy at the end and didn't feel like typing the chorus again, but you 
get the picture.  I just feel really cool that I get to add something to the 
Indigo Girls folder at FTP Nevada.  Enjoy the music! 
 
No Worries!
