On these bits start with the e string
and strum up towards the D.
[Verse 1] (pick chords)
All my life I worshipped her
Her golden voice, her beauties beat
How she made us feel how she made me real
[Chorus] (strum chords)
And the ground beneath her feet
And the ground beneath her feet
[Verse 2] (pick chords ? lyric structure slightly more complicated)
Now I can't be sure, be sure of anything 
Black is white and cold is heat 
For what I worshipped stole my love away
[Chorus] (strum chords)
It was the ground beneath her feet
It was the ground beneath her feet
[Middle 8] (Strum chords from here on in)
Go lightly down your darkened way
Go lightly on the ground 
I'll be down there in another day
I won't rest until your found
Play [Middle 8] again, but replace words by do do do's

Outro

Bm*
Let me love you
A*
Let me rescue you
Let me take where two roads meet
And I'll come back above
when there is only love  
Only love 
Only love 
Bm*
Only love
