And all these pretty things

Its not a rote perfect adaptation but its not really a guitar song, and I think this is nice way to play it chilled and acoustic!

In hindsight these chords are, in my opinion, quite a bit off. They sounded about right from my memory, but when matched against the original song, I think they fall apart. I'll try to make a better version and attach to this one.

Okay, I just looked it quickly through, hope you can use it :) - The A on "things" after the C#m is an Amaj7 - The B followed by B/a are really Bsus4 followed by B - There's a variation on "time will" with some dim-/major seven-thing
