******I AM A TOTAL IDIOT!!!!******

For those of you who had problems with that original chorus it's cause I 
had an E instead of a D THIS IS RIGHT!!!!!
                                          
I tend to play them as power chords but here they are

D  (x,5,7,7,5,5)
E  (x,7,9,9,7,7)
F  (x,8,10,10,8,8)
G  (x,10,12,12,10,10)
A  (x,12,14,14,12,12) only in Ver 2 of the intro
All the above chords are sus2 but that is too long :)

Lead

E|------3-5~-(3)-------------3-5~-(3)--|
B|--3-5----------(5)-(3)-3-5-----------|

() = Optional. It's sounds good but you kinda have to listen to see where
it will be. One of those "you have to feel it to play it" deals :)
~ = vibrato (when you do the shakey thing with your finger, or at least so
I've been told :) Isn't necessary but it sounds nice :)  )

Now for some unknown reason the rhythem part is barely audible on it's own
so this took a lot of trial and error on my part. There may be mistakes but
I doubt it and if there is: Hey! This sounds good! :)

The lead part is kind of needed or else you can't even tell what song it is.
If you only have 1 guitar then play just that or play Ver. 2 of Intro.
The lead isn't really in the chorus at least not until the end but it 
sounds better if it is.

Intro Ver 1

Lead Riff x2

Rhythem

D F G D   D F G  x2
(Hold the G on second half where you would be playing 2nd D on first half)

(The lead plays on seperate beats than the rhthym guitar so DON'T play the
same part)

Intro Ver 2

D E G A G D   D E G A G
(play the D E G A with the lead part play G D (1st time) and G (2nd) along
with the rhythem


Verse:
No Guitar at first :'(                           

Circles on the water, lonely tear is falling.
Missing you, I'm missing you
E   D                   G    D
Somehow I can't remember ever forgetting how
  E      D      G      D
I needed you, I needed you
E      D               G              D
I serenade the Heavens crying out for mercy
E     F          F     G
`Carry me, Father carry me
   F
My heart is bleeding, broken, needing
              E
Slowly dying, hardly beating
F
Listening, are you listening


Chorus Ver 1
Lead Riffx2
Rhythem:
         D          F            G       D
Like the air that I breath I need you
     D        F     G
This image is so surreal
  D             F            G       D
I don't want to live without you
    D       F     G
And this is how I feel


Verse 2

            E        D               G      D
I thought I heard an angel, an angel whispering
      E       F                 F        G
Your watching me, I know you're watching me
             E      D            G   D
I think I'll rest a while in the knowledge
            E             F         F             G
That you're never letting go of me, Never letting go
          F
With this holy water falling like the dew
             E
Holy Father, hold me near you
F
Listening, are you listening


Chorus Ver 1
Lead Riffx2
Rhythem:
         D          F            G       D
Like the air that I breath I need you
     D        F     G
This image is so surreal
  D             F            G       D
I don't want to live without you
    D       F     G
And this is how I feel


Bridge:
F E D   F D x2
It is a "feel it to play it" part again but this is really a part of the song


Chorus
No lead part so play this

         D          F            G       D
Like the air that I breath I need you
     D        F     G
This image is so surreal
  D             F            G       D
I don't want to live without you
    D       F     G
And this is how I feel

Now play the Chorus with lead a few times and fade out 


There ya go. You better be happy cause this song was a pain in the butt
God Bless and remember life is like playing guitar. You hit wrong notes
and strings will break but you can never quit playing.
