(I sort of mixed all the strings that I hear and came up with this intro. You'll dig this once you get the 
of it. Listen to the record and you'll get the intro in no time.)

VERSE 1: (plucked)
Em          G             Bm Em      C9  G   C9  B
  There?s a song that?s inside of my soul,
Em         G              Bm Em         C9       G     C9    B
  It?s the one that I?ve tried to write over and over again.
Em     G           Bm Em    C9   G   C9  B
  I?m awake in the infinite cold,
Em        G          Bm Em    C9       G     C9   B
  But you sing to me over and over and over again.

CHORUS: (strummed)
       E      B         A
  So I lay my head back down,
        E       B
  And I lift my hands and
  A          C#m7
  Pray to be only yours,
    A          C#m7
  I pray to be only yours,
     C9                B
  I know now you?re my only hope.

  Em     G     Bm     Em  C9      G      C9       B     Em

VERSE 2: (plucked)
Em        G      Bm  Em       C9   G   C9   B
  Sing to me the songs of the stars,
Em         G      Bm   Em    C9           G         C9   B
  Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
Em        G             Bm  Em        C9   G   C9   B
  When it feels like my dreams are so far,
Em        G         Bm  Em         C9          G     C9   B
  Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

D              Em
  I want your symphony,

  Singing in all that I am.
