                  Am*            Fmaj7        Am7          Dm7
                   That I should company with something so divine?

                  Am7     A1
                   Freeing me

                   Chorus:
                               C         E/G#       A2
                   Love is the thing this time I'm sure
                                  F      Gmadd9 A3
                   And I couldn't need you more now
                                    C         E/G#   Fmaj7  Gadd9?
                   The way that you saw things were so pure
                       E/G#
                   Overjoyed

(Verse 2, same as verse 1:)

                   You name me
                   Entertain
                   Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
                   Mirror spins
                   Wicked tales
                   Here lies reflections of
                   Deceptions of

                   [Chorus]

Bridge:
                A2                             Bm*
Missing the me from you you gave to me
                A2                             Bm*
                   I don't like the one I have created today
                Dsus
                   Crossing nameless from the one I've earned
                      A2              Dsus            A
                   To be the one, the one you gave to me

Solo, (chorus plays underneathe):

           D---------------12^(13)--12--11------------------------|
           A---11--12--14------------------12/14--11h12h11--------|

at the last possible second).
