Indigo Girls – Watershed (Guitar)

                  D A7 Bm                    D A7 Bm
Thought I knew my mind   like the back of my hand.

                 D   A7 Bm                            C  B  A
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned.

                           D            D                    G D E
And they say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied.

                           G                 C                      D
Well, I better learn how to swim, 'cause the crossing is chilly and wide.

             D            A7     Bm                    D A7 Bm
Twisted guardrails on the highway, broken glass on the cement.

                     D    A7      Bm                          C B A
A ghost of someone's tragedy. How recklessly my time has been spent.

                   D
They say that it's never too late,

                                 G  D  E
But you don't, you don't get any younger.

                            G                        C        D     A7
Well, I better learn how to starve the emptiness and feed the hunger.

          D         G                C           G D A7
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road.

        Bm              D                 G                     E
You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load.

                        D                                 G D E
You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile.

                        G                     C
When you're learning to face the path at your pace

                           D    A7
Every choice is worth your while.

                   D           A7                  Bm                       D A7 Bm
And there's always retrospect (when you're looking back) to light a clearer path.

                         D         A7    Bm          D           C B A
Every five years or so I look back on my life, and I have a good laugh.

                 D
You start at the top (start at the top), go full-circle 'round,

                       G D E
Catch a breeze, take a spill,

             G                     C                       D    A7
But ending up where I started again makes me want to stand still.

          D         G                C           G D A7
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road.

        Bm              D                 G                     E D A7
You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load.

                        D                                 G D E
You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile.

                        G                     C
When you're learning to face the path at your pace

                           D
Every choice is worth your while

Bm       D    E                            C              G
Stepping on a crack (stepping on a crack), breaking up and looking back

           E                                Bm
'Til every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait,

     C                             G        A7
'Til every step you take becomes a twist of fate (twist of fate).

          D         G                C           G D A7
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road.

        Bm              D                 G                     E D A7
You can stand there and agonize 'til your agony’s your heaviest load.

                        D                                 G D E
You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile.

                        G                     C
When you're learning to face the path at your pace

                           D
Every choice is worth your while

          D         G                C           G D A7
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road.

        Bm              D                 G                     E D A7

                        D                                 G D E
You'll never fly as the crow flies. Get used to a country mile.

                        G                     C
When you're learning to face the path at your pace

                           D
Every choice is worth your while

                            G                     C
And when you're learning to face the path at your pace,

                           D
Every choice is worth your while.
