The timing on the intro and verse can be played two ways, though
it doesn't make a huge difference. The only change is whether
you hit the D/F#D/F# on the upbeat of the 3rd beat or right on
the 4th beat. I personally prefer the upbeat of the 3rd beat.
Both ways are shown:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 
Bm        D/F#  G5        D/F#D/F#

or

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Bm          D/F#D/F# G5          D/F#D/F#

Verse:

Bm     D/F#   G5     D       Bm  D/F#D/F# G5    D/F#D/F# (repeats)
Love,              I get so  lost sometimes...

Bridge:

You can mess around with the Asus2Asus2 and G2/3/6, both sound good

A augmentedA (or Asus2Asus2)          G2/5/6 (or G2/3/6) (repeat)
And All my instincts, they return....

A                    G2/5/6 (hold)
I reach out from the inside...

Chorus:

   E MajorE
In your eyes, (the light the heat)
   E/C#          Db7Db7
In your eyes, (I am complete)
etc...

These are the fingerings I've been using for some of the
more unusual chords to make the transitions easier:

          A augmentedA or Asus2Asus2

|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|---| D MajorD
|---|---|---|---|---|-1-|---| G+G
|---|---|---|---|-2-|---|---| BB
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E MajorE

That's pretty much it. I've found this version works best for
campfires with just voice and guitar, but it also works while
playing along with the album. Any questions or comments E-Mail
