VERSE (OUTRO) - Guitar 1 [4:08] - And that's the song!
My interpretation is just that - an interpretation. There are probably more
layers that I didn't hear, and there are other ways to play this song. Here isanother
progression for the chorus that sounds nice and would be great for an acoustic version of
song (although it's not played on the record).

My guard fell for you today now i will surrender,
Take this prisoner make him something better
Reach down and pull me up don't let your captive go
Cause love's wounds have made me weak can't stand up on my own
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you i'd do anything
White flag flies above
This is what i've chosen
I'll change anything now that my pride is broken
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you i'd do anything
The grace you give will always fill me up
And i'll savor every bit of that fortune
But if in time this love turns to dust
I pray i don't endure that torture
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you i'd do anything
Can you show me how to feel again
I'll do anything you need my friend
And together we will always span time
For you i'd do anything....
