I'm an amateur guitar player and this song uses chords that I am unfamiliar with.
I could be completely wrong about these chords, but this is what I hear when I
listen to it and I can sing the melody over these chords and it blends beautifully.
The chords in this song are strummed using only E, A, and D strings while keeping
the three higher strings G, B, and e muted.
chords used:
E A D G B e
G: 3-2-0-x-x-x
A: 5-4-2-x-x-x
D: 5-5-4-x-x-x

that a woman can restore the soul of any broken man
GAD

GD
i will teach you how to love me
GAD
into greatness i will lead you
GAD
and i?ve spent most of my life deep down inside myself
GAD
i?ve dreamt about the possibility of someone else
GAD
who could see the things i?ve seen and steal away with me
GAD
into the darkness we could fade because we know ourselves
GD

GAD
i?ve dreamt about the possibility of someone else
GAD
who could see the things i?ve seen and steal away with me
GAD
into the darkness we could fade because we LOVE ourselves
GD
