{c:verse 1}
I'm [F/C]trying to tell you [G7sus4]something 'bout my [Bbadd9]life [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
Maybe [F/C]give me insight [G7sus4]between black and [Bbadd9]white [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
And the [Csus4]best thing you've ever done for [Bbadd9]me
Is to [Csus4]help me take my life less serious-[Bbadd9]ly
It's only life [F/C]after all [G7sus4]yeah [Bbadd9] [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
{c:verse 2}
Well [F/C]darkness has a [G7sus4]hunger that's in-[Bbadd9]satiable [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
And [F/C]lightness has a [G7sus4]call that's hard to [Bbadd9]hear [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
I [Csus4]wrapped my fear around me like a [Bbadd9]blanket
I [Csus4]sailed my ship of safety till I [Bbadd9]sank it
I'm crawling on your [F]shores
{soc}
I [C]went to the doctor
I [Bb]went to the [F]mountains
I [C]looked to the children
I [Bb]drank from the [F]fountains
There's [Csus4]more than one answer to these [Bbadd9]questions
Pointing me in a [F]crooked line
And the [Csus4]less I seek my source for some de-[Bbadd9]finitive
The closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
The [Csus4]closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
[Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]

{c:verse 3}
I [F/C]went to see the [G7sus4]doctor of phil-[Bbadd9]osophy [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
With a [F/C]poster of Ras-[G7sus4]putin
And a [Bbadd9]beard down to his [Csus4]knee [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
He [Csus4]never did marry or [Bbadd9]see a B-grade movie
He [Csus4]graded my performance
He [Bbadd9]said he could see through me
I spent [F/C]4 years prostrate [C]to the higher [Bb]mind
Got my [C]paper and I was [F]free
{soc}
I [C]went to the doctor
I [Bb]went to the [F]mountains
I [C]looked to the children
I [Bb]drank from the [F]fountains
There's [Csus4]more than one answer to these [Bbadd9]questions
Pointing me in a [F]crooked line
And the [Csus4]less I seek my source for some de-[Bbadd9]finitive
The closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
The [Csus4]closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine

{c:verse 4}
I [F/C]stopped by the [G7sus4]bar at 3 A-[Bbadd9]M [Csus4] [C] [Cadd9] [C]
To seek [F/C]solace in a [G7sus4]bottle or [Bbadd9]possibly a [C]friend
And I [Csus4]woke up with a headache like my [Bbadd9]head against a board
[Csus4]Twice as cloudy as I'd been the [Bbadd9]night before
And I went in seeking [F]clarity
{soc}
I [C]went to the doctor I [Bb]went to the [F]mountains
I [C]looked to the children I [Bb]drank from the [F]fountains
We [C]go to the doctor we [Bb]go to the [F]mountains
We [C]look to the children we [Bb]drink from the [F]fountains
We [C]go to the bible we [Bb]go through the [F]workout
We [C]read up on revival we [Bb]stand up for the [F]lookout
There's [Csus4]more than one answer to these [Bbadd9]questions
Pointing me in a [F]crooked line
And the [Csus4]less I seek my source for some de-[Bbadd9]finitive
The closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
The [Csus4]closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
The [Csus4]closer I [F/C]am to fi-[G7sus4]ii-[Bbadd9]-ine
