This is a beautiful song, and these chords sound great acoustically or on a clean
guitar.  They can be picked or strummed to add effect as the song goes on.  It is in regular 
no capo.

Intro - B, G#m, E, F#

BYou (x2444x@1)breathed infinity into my world
G#mand (133111@4)time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
E (022100@1)                                                    F# (244322@1)            
                BWe (x2444x@1)dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
               G#m (133111@4)            EThen (022100@1)you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
                 F# (244322@1)                     E (022100@1)             F# (244322@1)
              Bwe'll (x2444x@1)grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
             G#m (133111@4)                                Enow (022100@1)my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
                  F#but (244322@1)I was alive and now I've drowned.
G#m (133111@4)  E (022100@1)                                 BSo (x2444x@1)now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
                   F# (244322@1)   		 E, F#so (244322@1)they can tell me I was wrong...
                           G#mBut (133111@4)they weren't there beneath your stare,
                             Eand (022100@1)they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
           B (x2444x@1)                                            F#any (244322@1)bindings from the world outside that room.
 		G#mAnd (133111@4)they weren't taken by the hand
		Eand (022100@1)led through fields of naked land
	     B (x2444x@1)		F#where (244322@1)any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
      G#m (133111@4) F# (244322@1) Eso (022100@1)I couldn't say "no".

B, G#m, E, F#

       B (x2444x@1)		G#mYou (133111@4)sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
E (022100@1)			F#You (244322@1)were the blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
		B (x2444x@1)         G#m (133111@4)        EI (022100@1)wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
		F# (244322@1)E (022100@1)name="chord_244322@1">F#
just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
     B (x2444x@1)G#m (133111@4)	  Ebut (022100@1)oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,

	   F#but (244322@1)I was alive and now I've drowned.
