Chords

I usually both arpegiate and strum these chords to help set a somber mood. I tried to keep the transcription fairly simple because it was originally played on piano, I did it for guitar so things will be a little different. This song was written after Sarah received some rather disturbing letters from some obsessed fans. Enjoy. Questions/Comments . . .

[Verse1]
  [Am]                  [C]                      [G]     [Dsus2]
What Ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage.

[Am]                    [C]                   [Am]
Created you a monster, broken by the rule of love.

  [Am]                             [C]                   [G]  [Dsus2]
And fate has led you through it, you do what you have to do.

  [Am]                             [C]                  [D]
And fate has led you through it, you do what you have to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- [Chorus]
 [Am]               [C]
I have the sense to recognize, 

    [G]          [Dsus2]        [Am]     [G][C]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)
--------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse2]
[Am]              [C]                      [G]     [Dsus2]
Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul

  [Am]                  [C]                   [Am]
I'm ever swiftly moving, trying to escape this desire.

 [Am]                        [C]                 [G]   [Dsus2]
The yearning to be near you, I do what I have to do.

  [Am]                       [C]                [D]
The yearning to be near you, I do what I have to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- [Chorus]
    [Am]               [C]
And I have the sense to recognize, 

    [G]          [Dsus2]        [Am]     [G][C]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)

[G]        [Dsus2]        [Am]   [G] [Am]  [Verse-2-Chords] 
I don't know how to let you go

[Verse3]

[Am]              [C]        [G]
 A glowing ember, burning hot, and burning slow.

[Am]                         [C]                     [Am]
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you.

 [Am]                        [C]                 [G]   [Dsus2]
I know I can't be with you, I do what I have to do.

 [Am]                        [C]              [D] 
I know I can't be with you, I do what I have to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- [Chorus]
    [Am]               [C]
And I have the sense to recognize, 

    [G]         [Dsus2]        [Am]     [G][C]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)

[G]        [Dsus2]        [Am]   [G] [Am] 
I don't know how to let you go

[G]        [Dsus2]        [Am] (slow-strum) 
I don't know how to let you go
