This is just the basic chords used in the song. I was intrigued by the progression of
song which makes it amazing. It was pretty hard to find these chords and still you can
at least 2 guitars using variations of each which makes the song richer and harder to pick by ear.
Tuning: E A D G B E
Intro:
Finger picked on an electric guitar with clean tone.
[C#m]

First Half:
Another guitar kicks in, strumming the same chords with a pick ,distortion and slight variations.
Verse:
(Mine is an act of love..)

(Intro again)
Notice for this verse the finger picked guitar volume is lowered, so u only hear the
guitar strumming the chords (and of course the violins and the drums envelopping the song
and more).
Verse:
(I must have seen too much skin...)
