Chords for Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine (Lyrics)

_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] I'm trying to [F#m] tell you something about my life
[E] _
[A] Maybe give me [F#m] insight between black and white
[F#] _
And the best thing you ever [D] done for me _
[F#] Used to help me take my life less [D] seriously
It's only [A] life after [F#m] all
Yeah
_ [E] _
[A] Well darkness has a hunger that's [E] insatiable
[A] And lightness [F#m] has a call that's hard to hear
[E] _
Now 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
_ [E] I went to the doctor
I went [A] to the mountains
[E] I looked to the children
[F#m] 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#] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ Now [A] I went to see the doctor [F#m] of [E] philosophy
[A] With a poster [F#m] of Rasputin and a beer down [F#] to his knee
He never did marry
[D] Well see it'd be a great movie
[F#] He graded my performance
[D] He said he could see through me
[A] I spent four years [E] prostrate to the [D] higher mind
[E] Got my paper and [A] I was free
_ [E] I went to the doctor
[A] I went 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#] Unless I seek my source
Or [D] some definitive
Closer [A] I am to [E] fire
_ _ Closer [A] I am to [E] _ fire _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
I stopped by the bar at 3am
To seek solace in a bottle
Or possibly [E] a friend
[F#] And I woke up with a headache
[D] Like my head was on fire
I knocked my head against the board
[F#] Twice as cloudy as I'd [D] been the night before
But I went in [A] seeking clarity
_ [E] I went to the doctor
I went [A] to the mountains
[E] I looked to the children
I drank [A] from the fountains
[E] We go to the doctor
[F#m] We go [A] to the mountains
[E] We look to the children
[F#] We drink [A] from the fountains
[E] We go to the doctor
We go to the Bible
We go [A] through the workout
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#] Unless I seek my source
Or [D] some definitive
Closer [A] I am to [Bm] fire
_ [D] _ _ [E] Closer [A] I am to [E] fire
_ _ Closer I am to fire
[A] Closer I am to [F#] fire
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
