Thin Line - INDIGO GIRLS, from 1200 Curfews (written by Gerard McHugh)
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

[SOLO - I'm not good enough to work out the tab, but the solo is played over the chords to 1 verse, 1 half-chorus, and then 1 half-verse]
G Dsus/F# C9 Now I'm tryin to get back
G Dsus/F# C9 What I know that I should be
G Dsus/F# C9 Hoping to God that I was just
G Dsus/F# C9 A temporary absentee,yeah
D D 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 And pleasing somebody else, yeah
D D When I tried to make it more
C9 G 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 [PLAY TAB] Oh yeah Alright
