Secure Yourself

Indigo Girls


Tom: D

   A
Secure yourself to heaven
        G
Hold on tight, the night has come
       D
Fasten up your earthly burdens
         Asus2
You have just  begun


[Verse 1]
       Asus2
In the ink   of the night I saw you bleed
              Em
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
G
Solid to the air I breathe
D
Open-eyed and fast asleep

Asus2
Falling softly as the rain
    Em
No footsteps ringing in your ears
G
Ragged down worn to the skin
D
Warrior raging have no fear


[Chorus]
   A
Secure yourself to heaven
        G
Hold on tight, the night has come
       D
Fasten up your earthly burdens
         Asus2
You have just begun


[Verse 2]
A
Kneeling down with broken prayers
Em
Hearts and bones from days of youth
G
Restless with an angel's wing
  D
I dig a grave to bury you

   A
No feet to fall, you need no ground
  Em
Allowed to glide right through the sun
  G
Released from circles guarded tight
D
Now we all are chosen ones


[Chorus]
   A
Secure yourself to heaven
        G
Hold on tight, the night has come
       D
Fasten up your earthly burdens
         Asus2
You have just begun

[Chorus 2 - no chords played]
   A
Secure yourself to heaven
        G
Hold on tight, the night has come
       D
Fasten up your earthly burdens
         Asus2
You have just begun


[Verse 3]
       Asus2
In the ink    of the night I saw you bleed
            Em
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
G
Solid to the air I breathe
D
Open-eyed and fast asleep

Asus2
Falling softly as the rain
   Em
No footsteps ringing in your ears
G
Ragged down worn to the skin
D
Warrior raging have no fear


[Chorus]
   A
Secure yourself to heaven
        G
Hold on tight, the night has come
       D
Fasten up your earthly burdens
         Asus2
You have just begun

  A                                         Asus2
Secure yourself to heaven            In the ink     of the night I saw you bleed
        G                                        G
Hold on tight the night has come     Through the thunder I could hear you scream

Fasten up your earthly burdens       Solid to the air I breathe
         A                           A
You have just begun                  Open-eyed and fast asleep

You have just begun                  Now we all are chosen ones
