Thin Line - INDiGo GiRLS, from 1200 Curfews
(written by Gerard McBugh)
 
This is my first attempt at transcribing a song so please forgive any
mistakes. It's quite simple though so there shouldn't be too many. For
G/B and G/A (these names are made up) you'll probably just want to play
strings 4 and 5, as if you were playing a power chord.
 
Chords: G=320033; Dsus/F#=200233; C9=x32033; D=xx0232;
G/B=x20033; G/A=x00033
 
G Dsus/F# C9
[intro x2]
 
G Dsus/F# C9 I thought the time was passed when I could
 
G Dsus/F# C9 Find beauty in a verse
 
G Dsus/F# C9 I set the stage and the scenery
 
G Dsus/F# C9 Rehearsing every word, yeah
 
D D But when I tried to make it more
 
C9 G Well it was always less
 
D D And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
 
C9 G/B G/A G
And pleasing somebody E- E- else
 
Dsus/F# C9 Oh yeah
 
G Dsus/F# C9 Oh yeah All right
 
 
G Dsus/F# C9 With my confidence on fire
 
G Dsus/F# C9 I set to fixin' up my role
 
G Dsus/F# C9 My separation of desire
 
G Dsus/F# C9 Just left me deeper down in the hole, yeah
 
D D When I tried to make it more
 
C9 G Well it was always less
 
D D And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself
 
C9 G And pleasing somebody else
 
D D Yeah and when I tried to make it more
 
C9 G Well it was always less
 
D D It's a thin line between pleasing yourself
 
C9 G/B [PLAy TAB]
And pleasing somebody else

G Dsus/F# C9 What I know that I should be
 
G Dsus/F# C9 Boping to God that I was just
 
G Dsus/F# C9 A temporary absentee,yeah
