Thin Line - INDIGO GIRLS, from 1200 Curfews
(written by Gerard McHugh)

This is my first attempt at transcribing a song so please forgive any
mistakes. It's quite simple though so there shouldn't be too many. For
G/B and G/A (these names are made up) you'll probably just want to play
strings 4 and 5, as if you were playing a power chord.

Chords: G=320033; Dsus/F#=200233; C9=x32033; D=xx0232;
G/B=x20033; G/A=x00033

G   Dsus/F#   C9
[intro x2]

G              Dsus/F#       C9
I thought the time   was    passed when I could

G              Dsus/F#       C9
Find beauty in a verse

G              Dsus/F#       C9
I set the stage and the scenery

G              Dsus/F#       C9
Rehearsing every  word, yeah

D               D
But when I tried to make it more

C9           G
Well it was     always less

D                 D
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself

C9           G/B G/A G
And pleasing     somebody e-  e-  else

Dsus/F#        C9
Oh yeah

G      Dsus/F#            C9
Oh yeah              All right


G              Dsus/F#       C9
With my confidence on  fire

G              Dsus/F#       C9
I set to fixin' up my    role

G              Dsus/F#       C9
My separation of desire

G              Dsus/F#              C9
Just left me  deeper down in the hole, yeah

D               D
When I tried to make it more

C9          G
Well it was      always less

D                 D
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself

C9             G
And pleasing     somebody  else

D               D
Yeah and when I tried to make it more

C9          G
Well it was       always less

D                 D
It's a thin line between pleasing yourself

C9          G/B     [PLAY TAB]
