I'm trying to tell you [F#m] something about my life
[A] Maybe give me insight [F#m] between black and [F#] white
And the best thing you've ever [D] done for me
Is to [F#] help me take my life [D] less seriously
It's only [A] life after [F#m] all
Yeah
_ [E] _ [A] Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call [D] that's hard to [F#] hear
I wrap my fear around me [D] like a blanket
_ [F#] I sail my ship of safety [D] till I sank it
I'm crawling [A] on your shores
And [E] I went to the doctor, [F#m]
I went [A] to the mountains
[E] I looked to the children, [F#m] I drank [A] from the [F#] fountains
There's more than one answer [D] to these questions
Pointing [A] me in a crooked _ [F#] line
And the less I seek my source for [D] some definitive
_ [A] Closer I am to [Bm] fire
_ [E] _ Closer [A]
I am to _ [E] fire
_ _ [A] And I went to see the doctor [F#m] of [E] philosophy
[A] With a foster [F#m] of rescue, can any fear down [F#] to his knee
He never did marry, [D] or see a big great movie
[F#] He graded my performance, [D] he said he could see through me
[A] I spent four years prostrate to the [D] higher mind
[E] Got my paper [A] and I was free
_ [E] I went to the doctor, [F#] I went [A] to the mountains
[E] I looked to the children, I drank [A] from the fountains
[F#] There's more than one answer [D] to these questions
Pointing [A] me in a crooked line
[F#] And the less I seek my source for [D] some definitive
Closer [A]
I am [B] to [E] fire
_ Closer I am to _ fire

stopped [F#m] by the bar at 3am
[E] To [A] seek solace [F#m] in a bottle or possibly [E] a friend
[F#] And I woke up with a headache [D] like my head against a board
[F#]
Twice as cloudy as I'd [D] been the night before
And I went in [A] seeking clarity
_ [E] I went to the doctor, [F#m] I went [A] to the mountains
[E] I looked to the children, I drank [A] from the fountains
[E] We go to the doctor, we go [A] to the mountains
[E] We look to the children, [F#] we drink [A] from the fountains
[E] We go to the Bible, we go [A] through the workout
[E] We read a former Bible, [A] we stand up for the lookout
[F#] There's more than one answer to [D] these questions
Pointing me [A] in a crooked line
[F#] And the less I seek my source for [D] some definitive
[A] Closer I am to fire
[D] _ _ _ [Em] Closer [A] I am to [F#] _ [E] fire
_ Closer [A] I am to [D] fire
