[Verse]
     G      D         C     Cmaj7
It's easier not to be wise
G              D             C      Cmaj7
Measure these things by your brains
  G         D          C  Cmaj7
I sank into Eden with you
G            D             C  Cmaj7
Alone in the church by and by
      G          D              C   Cmaj7
I'll read to you love save your eyes
G                     D          C   Cmaj7
You'll need them your boat is at sea
     G         D               C         Cmaj7
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
         G           D               C     Cmaj7
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate

To leave you there by yourself chained to fate

    G       D          C     Cmaj7
It's easier not to be great
    G              D             C   Cmaj7
And measure these things by your eyes
   G          D              C     Cmaj7
We long to be here by his resolve
  G          D             C  Cmaj7
Alone in the church by and by
    G         D        C   Cmaj7
To cradle the baby in space

And leave you there by yourself chained to fate

The guitar is tuned a semitone lower, but other than that, it's all perfect.

I meant to say: a D-u-d, quickly on G moving back towards E to get the timing/rythm down. I also screwed up the timing I was trying to explain (nice job). Try: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &| E . . . B . . G . / / / / / . / // . I a-lone, love you . I a-lone, tempt you I'm making this worse not better, aren't I...

I like this chord post better than the power chord version (which adds some A5's and G5's in places I'm not sure they are needed). The chorus timing is a bit off, but hard to show over just 4 words ("I alone, love you"). Here's what I came up with: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &| E . . B . . G . / / / / / . / // . I a-lone, love you . I a-lone, tempt you The timing of the B switch is a bit strange and then the G is real quick, almost just in a transition back to E. You can do down strums on all the E and B chords and a D-u-d, quickly moving towards G to get the timing/rythm down. I'm using: E = 022100 B = x13331 G = [320]003 - briefly hitting the strings in brackets 3 times
