"It's easier to believe" 
"In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness" 
"That brings me to my knees." 


Definetely my own interpretation. Did not really work from Sarah's piano arrangement.
Which is awesome.But, apples and oranges. Thought the piece needed a bit more harmonic
color when played on guitar. Hope Sarah doesn't mind. "Added Bridge" is my own invention.
Disregard if you wish. Pretty though and provides a nice bridge from chorus 1 to verse 2.
Melody is stepwise except for 3rd down from Gto E at the end.

i dont have much experience with the guitar so may be this song was too hard for me to attempt just yet, however i found that none of the chords sounded anything like the sound of sarahs piano, maybe this song should stay on the piano i dont know, try it an see, like i say maybe its just me, if anyone can help me please do.
