Once again, the Indigo Girls.
[D]
[A]
[C] [G]
[Gm] [D]
[C] [G]
[E] [A] [Em]
There was a time I asked my [G] father for a dollar
And [B] he gave it a ten [Em] dollar raise
[C] When [Em] I needed [G] my mother and I called [D] her
She [E] stayed with me for [Em] days
[A] [G] Now someone's on the telephone
Desperate and [E] hesitant
[D] Someone's [C#m] on the bathroom [Em] floor
Doing her cocaine
[C] Someone's [Em] got his finger on the button in some room
[D] No one can [B] convince me
[F#] We aren't buttons [B] for our doom
[G#] But I try to make this place [G] my place
I ask for providence [C] to smile upon me
With this sweet face
Yeah, but I'll tell [D] you
My place is of the sun
And this [B] place is of the [C] dark
And I do not feel the romance
I do not catch the [D] spark
My place is of the sun
And [B] this place is of the dark
[Em] And I do not feel the romance
And I will not be upon
For the [Gm] prince of darkness [D] any longer
Maybe there's no haven [G] in this world for tender [Am] age
[G] My heart beat like the wings of [Gm] wild birds in a cage
[D] My greatest hope, my greatest [A] cause to grieve
And my heart blew from its cage
And it bled upon my sleeve
[C]
I cried the past and world [G] I'd ruined the need to heal
[D] I [B] couldn't help [Em]
[C] myself from making distance [G] between hell and heaven's ceiling
[D] And they almost pulled [E] me [Em] under
[A] [G] Now someone's on the telephone
Desperate in his pain
[D] Someone's on the bathroom [Em] floor
Doing her cocaine
[C] Someone's got his finger [G] on the button in some room
No [D] one can convince me we [F#] aren't buttons [E] for our doom
[G#] And I'll try to make this [G] place my place
I ask for providence [C] to smile upon me
[Bm] With this sweet [G] face
[D] Yeah, but I'll tell you
My place is of the sun
And this [B] place is of the [C] dark
And I do not feel the romance
[G]
I do not catch the [D] spark
But there's this girl on [B] my side
This place is of the [C] dark
And I feel the [G] romance
I do not catch the spark
[D] But there's this [A] girl on my [B] side
[C]
[G] I will not be the prince of darkness [D] any longer
