This is one of my favourite songs so I took my time to get this one.  It sounds  just 
about right - even the intro, which is played on a banjo, sounds good.  Usually the guitar 
just plays chords for the intro, but I translated the banjo riff into guitar and it sounds right.


Tuning: D tuning D G C F A d (which is just standard tuned a whole step down)

If a chord has a * beside it, it means you only strum it once.  E.g. C* means you strum 
a c chord once downwards.
If a word has a dash in the middle of it, it is because the chord doesn't change until 
partway through that word, which is after the dash.

VERSE 1

Dm                 C          Bb          C*
I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Dm
Though I don't really know what
    C                               A*
I'm gonna do when I get there
Dm                C
Take a breath and hold on tight
Bb                   C
Spin around one more time
    Dm              C                   Bb       C  A
And gracefully fall back to the arms of Grace

Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
   Bb
Is where I want to be

Dm                   C
I'm looking past the shadows

In my mind into the truth and I'm
Dm
Trying to identify
    C            Bb
The voices in my head
                 A*
God, which one's you?
Dm                   C
Let me feel one more time
       Bb                    C*
What it feels like to feel a-live
    Dm               C
And break these call-uses off of me
Bb              C  A
  One more time...
