intro:
A    E

Verse:
            A               E
Strange how you know inside me
  F#m         F#m7              D              D9
I measure the time and I stand amazed
            A        E
Strange how I know inside you
   F#m        F#m7                 D           D9
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           D9
You pick up the pieces
        A             E
And the ghosts in the attic
     F#m   F#m7  D            D9
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           D9
My voices and analogies
   A           E
Ambitions like ribbons
     F#m F#m7      D                D9
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           D9
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
            A            E
Strange how you fit into me
  F#m           F#m7        D          D9
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           D9
Confirm our conviction
     A            E
That some kind of miracle
F#m    F#m7   D        D9
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          D9
Embracing the seasons
   A                 E
We dance through the colors
     F#m          D           D9
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           D9
For our eyes to see
            A              E
Strange how this journey's hurting
   F#m     F#m7              D         D9
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         D9
Painstakingly drafted
   A           E
To carve us as instruments
 F#m                   D             D9
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          D9
How swiftly we choose it
    A         E
The sacred simplicity
F#m  F#m7    D         D9
Of you at my side

A      E   to  coda
