i was surprised to find this song wasn’t covered anywhere i could find , so i took it
myself to throw together the closest interpretation i could manage . there’s a lot of
in the recording , she often will flit between the a and an Asus2 from the sounds of it ,
these chords played in an arpeggio style work quite well for be . please feel free to send
comments , corrections or questions to zarathustras_crown@yahoo . com : ) hope you enjoy
intro :
A E
verse :
A E
strange how you know inside me
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
i measure the time and i stand amazed
A E
strange how i know inside you
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
my hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze
chorus :
A E
and of course i forgive
A E
i’ve seen how you live
F#m F#m7 E
like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
D Dsus2
you pick up the pieces
A E
and the ghosts in the attic
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
they never quite leave
A E
and of course i forgive
A E
you’ve seen how i live
F#m F#m7 E
i’ve got darkness and fears to appease
D Dsus2
my voices and analogies
A E
ambitions like ribbons
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
worn bright on my sleeve
A E
strange how we know each other
A E
A E
strange how i fit into you
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
there’s a distance erased with the greatest of ease
A E
strange how you fit into me
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
a gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs
A E
and with each passing day
A E
the stories we say
F#m F#m7 E
draw us tighter into our addiction
D Dsus2
confirm our conviction
A E
that some kind of miracle
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
passed on our hands
A E
and how i Am sure
A E
like never before
F#m F#m7 E
of my reasons for defying reason
D Dsus2
embracing the seasons
A E
we dance through the colors
F#m D Dsus2
both followed and led
A E
strange how we fit each other
( bridge . i think this is largely variations on the A E theme from the intro with the
D and Dsus2 thrown in . unfortunately i’m not 100% on this part )
A E
A E
strange how certain the journey
F#m F#m7
time unfolds the petals
D Dsus2
for our eyes to see
A E
strange how this journey’s hurting
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
in ways we accept as part of fate’s decree
A E
so we just hold on fast
A E
acknowledge the past
F#m F#m7 E
as lessons exquisitely crafted
D Dsus2
painstakingly drafted
A E
to carve us as instruments
F#m D Dsus2
that play the music of life
A E
for we don’t realize
A E
our faith in the prize
F#m F#m7 E
unless it’s been somehow elusive
D Dsus2
how swiftly we choose it
A E
the sacred simplicity
F#m F#m7 D Dsus2
of you at my side
A E to coda
