Indigo Girls Closer to Fine Lyrics

This is from the Indigo Girls 1200 Curfews music book.
All chords are the way that Emily and Amy do it.
This is a good song to play solo because the two guitar parts are identical.
Don??t worry, it??s a LOT easier than it looks.
See end for fingerings...
Intro/Rhy. Fig. 1:

Verse with Rhy. Fig. 1 (above):
I??m tryin to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing you??ve ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
(------------------Rhy. Fig. 1----------------)
Cause its only life after all
Verse with Rhy. Fig. 1:
Well darkness has a hunger that??s insatiable
ad
And lightness has a call that??s hard to hear
And I??ll wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
And I??m crawling on your shore
Chorus:
I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children and I drank from the fountains
There??s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
D11 C N.C.
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(--------------Rhy Fig. 1----------
The closer I am to fine------

The Closer I am to fine------ yeah
Verse with Rhy. Fig 1:
I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
And he never did marry or see a b-grade movie
But he graded my performance and he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
I got my paper and I was free
(Chorus)
Verse with Rhy. Fig 1:
So I stopped by the bar at three a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
I was twice as cloudy as I??d been the night before
When I went in seeking clarity
Outro/Chorus:
(chorus)
Here we go to the doctor we go to the mountains
We look to the children and we drink from the fountains
Here we go to the bible we go through the workout
D G N.C. G
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
There??s more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
D11 C N.C
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(---------------Rhy Fig 1--
The closer I am to fine
Clos--er I am to fine---------
Dsus4 D Dsus2 D G A7sus4 Cadd9 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D G-------

D11=x54030 (this sounds kind of weird, I use xx0010-sounds much better)
Cadd9=x23033 (or x23003)
