I was surprised to find this song wasn't covered anywhere I could find, so I took it
myself to throw together the closest interpretation I could manage. There's a lot of
in the recording, she often will flit between the A and an Asus2 from the sounds of it,
these chords played in an arpeggio style work quite well for be. Please feel free to send

intro:
AE
Verse:
AE
Strange how you know inside me
F#mF#m7DDsus2
I measure the time and I stand amazed
AE
Strange how I know inside you
F#mF#m7DDsus2
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze
chorus:
AE
And of course I forgive
AE
I've seen how you live
F#mF#m7E
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
DDsus2
You pick up the pieces
AE
And the ghosts in the attic
F#mF#m7DDsus2
They never quite leave
AE
And of course I forgive
AE
You've seen how I live
F#mF#m7E
I've got darkness and fears to appease
DDsus2
My voices and analogies
AE
Ambitions like ribbons
F#mF#m7DDsus2
Worn bright on my sleeve
AE
Strange how we know each other
AEAE
Strange how I fit into you
F#mF#m7DDsus2
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
AE
Strange how you fit into me
F#mF#m7DDsus2
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs
AE
And with each passing day
AE
The stories we say
F#mF#m7E
Draw us tighter into our addiction
DDsus2
Confirm our conviction
AE
That some kind of miracle
F#mF#m7DDsus2
Passed on our hands
AE
And how I am sure
AE
Like never before
F#mF#m7E
Of my reasons for defying reason
DDsus2
Embracing the seasons
AE
We dance through the colors
F#mDDsus2
Both followed and led
AE
Strange how we fit each other
(bridge. I THINK this is largely variations on the A E theme from the intro with the
D and Dsus2 thrown in. Unfortunately I'm not 100% on this part)
AEAE
Strange how certain the journey
F#mF#m7
Time unfolds the petals
DDsus2
For our eyes to see
AE
Strange how this journey's hurting
F#mF#m7DDsus2
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree
AE
So we just hold on fast
AE
Acknowledge the past
F#mF#m7E
As lessons exquisitely crafted
DDsus2
Painstakingly drafted
AE
To carve us as instruments
F#mDDsus2
That play the music of life
AE
For we don't realize
AE
Our faith in the prize
F#mF#m7E
Unless it's been somehow elusive
DDsus2
How swiftly we choose it
AE
The sacred simplicity
F#mF#m7DDsus2
Of you at my side
A E to coda
