Indigo Girls - Love Of Our Lives

love of our lives ( E . saliers )
i guess the tuning the play in is something like dadf#ad . anyway i’m gonna put
down the basic chords so you can play the song in way that sounds quite similar .

capo on the 2nd fret Asus2 002200

E Asus2
i open my hands out to see what i’ve got
E Asus2 F#m
my days slip like coins into a slot they are gone
Asus2 E Asus2
the shadows lie long
E Asus2
i’ve been banking on a broken machine
E Asus2
left unattended like most of my dreams
F#m Asus2 E Asus2
rusted components of an unmarked song

A B
we’ve been staring down the brilliant dream
C#m B
the sun burns our eyes
A B E
we’ve been fighting for the love of our lives

E Asus2
all around us things come apart
E Asus2
broken pieces , broken hearts
E Asus2
fix me , oil me , match me with the next best thing
person to person , nation to nation
heels dug in , no communication
F#m Asus2 E
wily time sneaks her weathering

( same chorus )
we’ve been waiting to be held by binding ties
we’ve been fighting for the love of our lives
A E
and when it breaks down , i beg you don’t go
F#m E
i circle your ship , i’m ready to blow
A B
i try to outflank you with an army of words , i strategize
A B E Asus2
i Am fighting for the love of my life

iron , water , oxygen , scotch and soda or any combination
starts the reaction
is there no mastermind of modern day who can blueprint
a plan to make love stay
sturdy and weatherproof , ushering in a new revolution

at the drawing board the hopeful ones still try
how can we help it when we’re fighting for the love of our lives?
