Love's Recovery Indigo Girls
LOVE'S RECOVERY (Emily Saliers)
-------------------------------
[Tune 6tb string (low E) down to D.]
[Actually in F, so capo up 3 frets.]
[Feel free to simplify some of tbe cbords; e.g., play Gmaj13 as G6 or GM7.]
[Each chord is one measure, with these exceptions: Chords joined by hyphens
are one measure _total_; the (D)'s at the end of the choruses only last
about one quarter-note, and the chords on the very last line have timing
markers underneath them.]
[D] [intrGmaj7/D]o] [D11] [Em9/D] [D] [Gmaj7/D] [D11] [Em9/D]
During the t[D]ime of which I sp[Gmaj13]eak, it was h[Gmaj13]ard to turn the ot[D(9)]her cheek
[Gmaj13] To the bl[Gmaj13]ows of insecu[Asus]rity[A7]
Feeding the ca[D]ncer of my in[Gmaj13]tellect, the blood [D(9)]of love, so[D]on neglected
[D(9)] Lay dying in the [G]strength of its impu[Asus]rity[A7]
Meanwhile our fri[G]ends we tho[G]ught were so tog[E7/G#]ether, [E7/G#] they've all
Go[Asus]ne and left each ot[A7]her in se[G]arch of fairer weath[G]er
And we [D]sit here in our st[G]orm and drink a toast
[A7sus] To the slim ch[A7]ance of love's reco[D]very[A7/D] [(D)] [A7/D] [Em] [D] [A7/D] [D] [A7]
There I am in younger days, stargazing, painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love should be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection, my compass, faith in
love's perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should've seen
Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
[A7sus] To the slim ch[A7]ance of love's reco[D]very[A7/D] [(D)] [A7/D] [Em]
[A]Rai[-]n so[Asus]aked and v[A]oice[-] ch[Asus]oked like [C(9)]silent screaming in [C(9)]a dream
I [D]search for our a[D]bsolute dist[Bm/D]inction[E7]
[A]Not [-]cont[Asus]ent to b[A]ow a[-]nd b[Asus]end to the wh[C(9)]ims of culture that [C(9)]swoop like vultures)
[D]Eating us aw[D]ay, [D]eating us aw[D]ay
[G]Eating us aw[G]ay to our extin[Asus]ction[A] [Asus] [A]
Oh how I wish I were a trinity, so if I lost a part of me
I'd still have two of the same to live
But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal; as specks of dust, we're universal
To let this love survive would be the greatest gift that we could give
Tell all the friends who think they're do together
That these are ghosts and mirages, all these thoughts of fairer weather
Though it's storming out, I feel safe within the
[A7sus]arms [A7] of love's dicov[D]ery[A7/D] [(D)] [A7/D] [Em]
