Indigo Girls – Loves Recovery (Guitar)

           D               Gmaj13                        D9
During the time of which I speak it was hard to turn the other cheek

Gmaj13                   Asus2    A7
      To the blows of insecurity

            D            Gmaj13        D9            Gmaj13
Feeding the cancer of my intellect the blood of love so neglected

D9                  Gmaj13            Asus2       A7
   Lay dying in the strength of its impurity

              G                             E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together

            Asus2              A7       G
They've all gone and left each other in search of fairer weather

       D                    G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast

A7sus           A7                D    A7/D   D   A7/D
To the slim chance of love's recovery.

D               G                D9
There I am in younger days, star gazing,

         G                    D9         G                   Asus2   A7
Painting picture perfect maps of how my life and love would be

                 D                 G
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection

   D                 G
My compass, faith in love's perfection

D                       G               Asus2             A7
   I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen

              G                             E7/G#
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together

          Asus2        A7         G
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather

        D              G
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast

    To the slim chance of love's recovery.

A    Asus4      A     Asus2        C9
Rain soaked and voice choked like silent screaming in a dream

  D                       Bm/D         Bm/E
I search for our absolute distinction

A   Asus4      A       Asus2
Not content to bow and bend

       C9
To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures

D               Bm/D
Eating us away, eating us away

G                     Asus2        A
Eating us away to our extinction

         D             Gmaj13      D9                  G
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me

D9                 G              Asus2   A7
I'd still have two of the same to live

           D               Gmaj13                  D9            G
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal, as specks of dust we're universal

   D9               G                                        Asus2   A7
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift we could give

             G                            E7/G#
Tell all the friends who think they're so together

               Asus2        A7               G
That these are ghosts and mirages, all these thoughts of fairer weather

            D                   G               A7sus4    A7
Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms

          D          Em/D   D   Em/D   D  A7/D   D   A7/D  D
of love's discovery
