Chords

Written and performed by Shawn Colvin From the cd: A Few Small Repairs Tabbed by Izzylou Note: I couldn't find this ANYWHERE, so I decided to figure it out myself. But I am not a very good at finger picking, so here are just the chords. Listen to the album to get the rhythm right. Intro: G.... D-G

With all the pretty terms of religion

And it makes the whole world spin

But not quite

But maybe no one listening

                       C                  G                     Am
And you might lose it all my darling, yes you might

And it feels so good to doubt you

I could almost live without you

             Am     C        
But not quite
