A                    G 
I've been looking to find you 
           F                   E 
but it's a little too late too soon 
A                 G 
I've been looking far and out but the 
F                E 
spirits are your doom 

(strumming again) 
E          Esus (sounds best if pinky is on 2nd fret) 
in you     in you 
 
*bridge* 

All right, I have minimal idea as to what is happening 

here.  A lot of it is bass, and the bass 

boom-boomboom-boom part can be best recreated by playing 

the low E string.  The chords played up until then 

might be * Am C D11 *, but I'm not sure.  Suggestions 

welcomed!  =)

E            F

E            F 
so shed your skin baby 
E      F      (stop) 
let it through 
                Am C G F 
come on over now       Come on over baby 
Am               C 
you tell me it's holy holy 
G                    F 
I don't know what it is, come on over child 
Am                    C 
I want to call it the fullness of time 
G                      F 
But I don't know if it is 

come on over now 
Am       C          G          F 
hey holy console me some power controls me 
F (hold)
