This is what I believe is the correct transcription for "Thin Line".

C9:    X32033
D:      000232

INTRO: |G   G/F#    C9:|



G                G/F#       C9                       G   G/F#            C9
I thought the time was past when I could find beauty in the words

G          G/F#               C9        G G/F#               C9
I set the stage and the scenery, rehearsing every word

Chorus:
D                                                         C9       G
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

               D
                                                                   C9
          G
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else

G            G/F#             C9                                   G
            G/F#           C9
With my confidence on fire                                       I set to
fixing up my role
                                      (With my confidence on fire)

G     G/F#             C9                                      G
                  G/F#                  C9
My separation of desires                                      just led me
deeper down the hole
                                    (Oh, separation of desires)

Chorus2:
D                                                           C9      G
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

               D
                                                                   C9
           G
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else,
yeah

D                                                            C9     G
When I tried to make it more, well it was always less

               D
                                                                   C9
          G
And it's a thin line between pleasing yourself and pleasing somebody else

INSTRUMENTAL

G          G/F#           C9        G       G/F#       C9
Now I'm trying to get back to what I know that I should be

G             G/F#                        C9                      G    G/F#
  C9
Hoping to God I was just                                  a temporary
absentee
                             (Oh, I was hoping I was just a temporary
absentee)

Chorus2





I got lazy at the end and didn't feel like typing the chorus again, but you
get the picture.  I just feel really cool that I get to add something to the
Indigo Girls folder at FTP Nevada.  Enjoy the music!

No Worries!
