Eric's Song

	  		I was surprised to find no one seemed to have done this song yet.  I don't have the music book unfortunately, and she adds a LOT of flourishes on this song.  In particular there's sections in the bridge I'm not entirely sure about.  Also, during the Chorus the transition from F#m7 to E again sounds much closer if you bar the E at the 7th fret, it seems to fit very well if I pick arpeggio.  Feel free to send any mistakes, corrections or comments to [email protected] hope you enjoy :)  

intro: 
A    E 

Verse: 
                            A                      E 
Strange how you know inside me 
   F#m                  F#m7                 D              Dsus2 
I measure the time and I stand amazed 
                          A                E 
Strange how I know inside you 
       F#m                 F#m7                        D                          Dsus2 
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                     Dsus2 
You pick up the pieces 
                  A                     E 
And the ghosts in the attic 
           F#m F#m7 D          Dsus2 
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                    Dsus2 
My voices and analogies 
               A           E 
Ambitions like ribbons 
          F#m F#m7 D                Dsus2 
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                      Dsus2 
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease 
                          A                     E 
Strange how you fit into me 
    F#m                   F#m7       D                      Dsus2 
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                     Dsus2 
Confirm our conviction 
          A                       E 
That some kind of miracle 
F#m    F#m7    D        Dsus2 
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                    Dsus2 
Embracing the seasons 
        A                                    E 
We dance through the colors 
           F#m                 D           Dsus2 
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 odd 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                    Dsus2 
For our eyes to see 
                           A                         E 
Strange how this journey's hurting 
     F#m        F#m7            D                     Dsus2 
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               Dsus2 
Painstakingly drafted 
       A                    E 
To carve us as instruments 
 F#m                                D             Dsus2 
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                Dsus2 
How swiftly we choose it 
         A                  E 
The sacred simplicity 
F#m  F#m7  D         Dsus2 
Of you at my side  

A      E   to  coda
