As recorded by the Indigo Girls (From the 1990 Album NOMADS INDIANS SAINTS) [Intro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 D Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
        G                          Cadd9
Well, I woke up this morning, grey dawn

                 G         Cadd9
With a prayer on my breath

       G 
See, I lost something precious

           Cadd9        G           Cadd9
And God'll save me from losing myself

          D         Cadd9       G
I said I, I think I know what's wrong

D         Cadd9       G  Cadd9
I think I know what's wrong
[Verse 2]
     G                          Cadd9
Now, I met the queen and I understand why

    G              Cadd9
Why she closed the door

        G
I'm not making excuses

                  Cadd9
But you know I've been there a few times

           G                          Cadd9
You know I was, I was knocking on the door

    D                Cadd9       G
But I said I think I know what's wrong

D         Cadd9       G  Cadd9
I think I know what's wrong
[Bridge]
              G                  Cadd9
See there's a man, he lived in a house

                G  Cadd9
Had a family of five

         G                           Cadd9
Well, he blew up the windows and the doors

               G                            Cadd9
He said I just couldn't, I just couldn't survive, yeah

            D                       Am7
Well, we've all been removed in one way or another

   Bm7                         Am7
We don't know our families, we don't need our brothers

             G                            Cadd9
Well, if you wake up in the morning, grey dawn

                             G       Cadd9
And there's a prayer on your breath

               G
See, maybe you lost something precious

       Cadd9         G          Cadd9
God'll save you from losing yourself

And you say I think I know what's wrong

Well lemme hear you

[Outro]
                              Cadd9     G           Cadd9
It's the queen who closed the door, the family that lies

    G                                 Cadd9
The people who turn, the cat that has died

  G                            Cadd9
A boy that OD's, a girl with a gun

    G            Cadd9       G           Cadd9
The world on its knees and a band on the run

              G       Cadd9   G          Cadd9
You know, you help me more by not giving in

                                G           Cadd9
(Queen who closed the door, the family that lies)

              G       Cadd9   G          Cadd9
You know, you help me more by not giving in

You help me more by not giving in

   G                               Cadd9
(A boy that OD's and a girl with a gun)

           G       Cadd9   G          Caddd9
I said you help me more by not giving in

     G                                    Cadd9
(The world on its knees and a band on the run)

    G                          Cadd9

I said you help me more by not giving in

I said I, I think I know what's wrong

F         Cadd9       G
