Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 | [G/f#] :|

[G/f#] /

I thought the time was past when I could find beauty in the words

[G/f#] /

I set the stage and the scenery, rehearsing every word

Chorus

When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

 And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else

[G/f#]

  [G/f#]

With my confidence on fire I set to

fixing up my role

(With my confidence on fire)

[G/f#]

  [G/f#]

My separation of desires just led me

deeper down the hole

(Oh, separation of desires)

Chorus2

When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

 And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else,

yeah

When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

 And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else

Instrumental

[G/f#] /

Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be

[G/f#] /

 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!
