(Intro.)
|(G) / (D) / |(C) / / / |

(Verse 1: Brandi Carlile)
I'm (G)tryin’ to tell you (D)somethin' about my (Em)life (D)
Maybe (G)give me insight (D)between black and (Em)white (D)
But the (G)best thing you (Em)ever done (D)for me
Is to (G)help me take my (Em)life less serious-(D)ly
'Cause it's only life af-(G)ter all, (D) yeah (Em)
It's only life (G)after all (D) (Em)

(Verse 2: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile)
Well, (G)darkness has a (D)hunger that's in-(C)satiable
And (G)lightness has a (D)call that's hard to (C)hear
I (D)wrap my fear around me like a (C)blanket
I (D)sailed my ship of safety until I (C)sank it
I'm crawling on your (G)shores (D) (C)

(Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile)
And I (D)went to the doctor, I (C)went to the moun-(G)tains
I (D)looked to the children, I (C)drank from the fount-(G)ains
There's (G)more than one (D)answer to these (C)questions
Pointing me in a (G)crooked line (D) (C)
And the (D)less I seek my source for some de-(C)finitive
The closer I (G)am to fine, (D) yeah (C)
The closer I (G)am to fine, (D) yeah (C)

(Verse 3: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile)
And I (G)went to see the doctor of phi-(C)losophy
With a (G)poster of Rasputin and a (C)beard down to his (D)knee
He (D)never did marry or (C)see a B-grade (G)movie
He (D)graded my performance, he (C)said he could see (G)through me
And I spent (G)four years prostrate to the higher mind
(D) Got my (C)paper, and I was (G) free

(Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Catherine Carlile)
I (D)went to the doctor, I (C)went to the (G)mountains
I (D)looked to the children, I (C)drank from the (G)fountains
There's (G)more than one answer to these questions
(G)Pointing me in a crooked line
And the (D)less I seek my source for some de-(C)finitive
The closer I (G)am to fine, (C) yeah
The closer I (G)am to fine, (C) yeah

(Bridge: Brandi Carlile)
I (G)stopped by the bar at 3 (C)a.m
To seek (G)solace in a bottle, or (C)possibly a friend
And I (D)woke up with a headache like my head against the board
Twice (D)as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking (G) clarity

(Chorus: Brandi Carlile & Catherine Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Catherine Carlile)
I (D)went to the doctor, I (C)went to the (G)mountains
I looked to the (D)children, I (C)drank from the (G)fountain
Yeah, we (D)go to the Bible, and we (C)go through the work-(G)out
And we (D)read up on revival, and we (C)stand up for the look-(G)out
And (G)there's more than one ans-(D)wer to these (C)questions
Pointing me in a (G)crooked line (D) (C)
And the (D)less I seek my source for some de-(C)finitive
The closer I am (G) to fine (C)
The closer I am (G) to fine (C)
The closer I am (G) to fine, yeah (C)
The closer I am (G) to fine (C)
The closer I am, (G) the closer I am
The closer I am, (G) the closer I am
The closer I am, (G) the closer I am
To fine, to fine, (G) the closer I am - - - - -
