Indigo Girls - Loves recovery

During the ^Dtime of which I ^Gmaj13speak it was hard to turn the ot^D9her cheek ^Gmaj13To the blows of insec^Asusurity ^A7 Feeding the ^Dcancer of my ^Gmaj13intellect the blood of ^D9love soon ^Gneglected ^D9Lay dying in the ^Gstrength of it's impur^Asusity ^A7

Meanwhile our ^Gfriends we thought were so tog^E7/G#ether They've all gon^Asuse and left each o^A7ther in s^Gearch of fairer weather And we ^Dsit here in our storm^G and drink a toast ^A7susTo the slim chan^A7ce of love's recov^Dery. ^{A7/D D A7/D}

^DThere I am in yo^Gunger days, star ^D9gazing, Painting ^Gpicture perfect maps ^D9of how my l^Gife and love would b^Asuse ^A7 Not counting the ^Dunmarked paths of ^Gmisdirection My c^Dompass, faith in ^Glove's perfection ^DI missed ten million ^Gmiles of road I should have ^Asusseen ^A7

Meanwhile our ^Gfriends we thought were so tog^E7/G#ether Left each o^Asusther one by o^A7ne in search ^Gof fairer weather And we s^Dit here in our ^Gstorm and drink a toast ^A7susTo the slim chan^A7ce of love's recov^Dery. ^{A7/D D A7/D}

^ARain ^Asussoaked and ^Avoice ^Asuschoked like ^C9silent screaming in a dream I ^Dsearch for our absolute ^Bm/Ddistinction ^{Bm/E7 A}Not ^Asuscontent to ^Abow and ^Asusbend To the ^C9whims of culture that swoop like vultures ^DEating us away, ^Bm/Deating us away ^GEating us away to our ^Asusextinction ^A

Oh how I ^Dwish I were a ^Gmaj13trinity, so ^D9if I lost a part of ^Gme ^D9I'd still have ^Gtwo of the same to l^Asusive ^A7 But nobody ^Dgets a lifetime ^Gmaj13rehearsal, as specks of^D9 dust we're univ^Gersal To ^D9let this love s^Gurvive would be the greatest gift we could ^Asusgive ^A7

Tell all the ^Gfriends who think they're so ^E7/G#together That these are ^Asusghosts and mi^A7rages, these ^Gthoughts of fairer weather Though it's ^Dstorming out ^GI feel safe within the ^A7susarms ^A7 of love's ^Ddiscovery ^{Em/D D Em/D D}
