Erics Song


I was surprised to find this song wasn't covered anywhere I could find, so I took it myself to throw together the closest interpretation I could manage. There's a lot of in the recording, she often will flit between the A and an Asus2 from the sounds of it, these chords played in an arpeggio style work quite well for be. Please feel free to send comments, corrections or questions to zarathustras_crown@yahoo.com :) 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 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
