CAPO 2nd Fret

INTRO:
G	G6	C9	Dsus	D	D9	D
G	G6	C9	Dsus	D	D9	D

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

     G	            G6	              C9   Dsus	D	D9	D
Well darkness has a hunger that insatiable
    G		    G6		        C9	Dsus	D	D9	D 
And lightness has a call thats hard to hear
      D11	                    C 
And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
  D11	                            C
I sailed my ship of safety until I sank it
                      G	
I'm crawling on your shores
 
CHORUS: 
  D                     C9          G		
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
   D	                C              G
I looked to children, I drank from the fountains
        D11			      C	
There's more than one answer to these questions
	         G
Pointing me in a crooked line
        D11                            C
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
             G	   G6	C9   Dsus
The closer I am to fine
             G     G6	C9   Dsus   D	D9	D
The closer I am to fine


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

REPEAT CHORUS
{c: Bridge - Whistle}
D11	C	D11	C
 
G              G6           C9  Dsus    D   D9   D 
I stopped by a bar at three AM
         G	      G6      C9	 Dsus   D   D9   D 
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
      D11                             C
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
D11                             C
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
      D                    G
And I went in seeking clarity

D	           C9	            G		
And I went to the doctor. I went to the mountains
  D		        C9              G
I looked to children. I drank from the fountains 
D          		C9	       G		
We go to the doctor. We go to the mountains
   D		        C9		     G
We look to children, We drink from the fountains 
D		       C9                 G		
We go to the bible, We go through the workout
D                      C9		      G
We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout

        D11		              C	
Theres more than one answer to these questions
                 G
Pointing me in a crooked line
         D11                           C
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
	     G     G6   C9  Dsus
The closer I am to fine
             G     G6   C9  Dsus
The closer I am to fine
             G     G6   C9   Dsus   D   D9   D   G
The closer I am to fine
