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 [email protected] :) hope you enjoy
intro:
[A] [E]
Verse:
Strange how [A]you know inside [E]me
I [F#m]measure the [F#m7]time and I stand a[D]mazed[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]I know in[E]side you
My [F#m]hand is out[F#m7]stretched toward the [D]damp of the [Dsus2]haze
chorus:
And of [A]course I for[E]give
I've [A]seen how you [E]live
Like a [F#m]phoenix you [F#m7]rise from the [E]ashes
You [D]pick up the [Dsus2]pieces
And the [A]ghosts in the [E]attic
They [F#m]never [F#m7]quite [D]leave[Dsus2]
And of [A]course I for[E]give
You've [A]seen how I [E]live
I've got [F#m]darkness and [F#m7]fears to [E]appease
My [D]voices and a[Dsus2]nalogies
Amb[A]itions like [E]ribbons
Worn [F#m]brig[F#m7]ht on my s[D]leeve[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]we know each [E]other
[A] [E]
Strange how [A]I fit into [E]you
There's a [F#m]distance er[F#m7]ased with the [D]greatest of [Dsus2]ease
Strange how [A]you fit into [E]me
A [F#m]gentle warmth [F#m7]filling the [D]deepest of [Dsus2]needs
And with [A]each passing [E]day
The [A]stories we [E]say
Draw us [F#m]tighter [F#m7]into our [E]addiction
Con[D]firm our con[Dsus2]viction
That [A]some kind of [E]miracle
[F#m]Passed [F#m7]on our [D]hands[Dsus2]
And [A]how I am [E]sure
Like [A]never be[E]fore
Of my [F#m]reasons for de[F#m7]fying [E]reason
Emb[D]racing the [Dsus2]seasons
We [A]dance through the [E]colors
Both [F#m]followed and [D]led[Dsus2]
Strange how [A]we fit each [E]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]
Strange how [A]certain the [E]journey
Time [F#m]unfolds the [F#m7]petals
For [D]our eyes to [Dsus2]see
Strange how [A]this journey's [E]hurting
In [F#m]ways we [F#m7]accept as part of [D]fate's dec[Dsus2]ree
So we [A]just hold on [E]fast
Ac[A]knowledge the [E]past
As [F#m]lessons ex[F#m7]quisitely [E]crafted
Pain[D]stakingly [Dsus2]drafted
To [A]carve us as [E]instruments
T[F#m]hat play the music of [D]life[Dsus2]
For we [A]don't rea[E]lize
Our [A]faith in the [E]prize
Un[F#m]less it's been [F#m7]somehow [E]elusive
How [D]swiftly we [Dsus2]choose it
The [A]sacred sim[E]plicity
[F#m]Of yo[F#m7]u at my [D]side[Dsus2]
A E to coda
