This is a cool song. The only difference I can tell between this version
and the version on their other CD is that it has an orchestral part instead
of a guitar solo. However, not having an orchestra on hand, this is more
fun to play.
In the intro and the chorus (as well as at random spots elsewhere), D chords
are played as: D -h- Dsus4 -p- D.
.
Intro: G D -h- Dsus4 -p- D Em
G D -h- Dsus4 -p- D Am Asus2 Am
This fill is played before each verse and during the solo. (/=slide)

Intro x2 G (one measure)
Am C D Am C G
I mount up on waxen wings, high to reach the sun
Am C D Am C G
But I am no further than, when I first begun
Em G D Em G D
So I build a mount of Athos to shape Your form against the sky
Em G D Em G D
My home in Your hands, to show all the people why
Em G D Dsus4
Show all the people why
Chorus: (the D's here are D -h- Dsus4 -p- D)
G D Em C
Everything I do is not enough for You.
G D Em C G
Everything I do is not enough, not enough for You.
Intro x2 (starts on "You")
Fill x2
In the garden of my pride, the lamented lime tree
Too stupid to cry for rain, fruitless and choked out by weeds
So I write a book of life using the best words I can find
For some struggler to snuggle up when the world becomes unkind
And when the world becomes unkind
Chorus
Intro x2
Fill x2
Solo (with other guitar playing Fill)
NOTE: this is the same chords as the chorus, so play the D's
accordingly. Also, there are background singers actually singing
the chorus during this verse.
G D Em C
I find direction in east-bound clouds, known for what they have
G D Em C
But when I step into its midst, its substance I cannot grasp
G D Em C
So I paint a portrait of You as if You had human disguise
G D Em C
Oil and canvas to be clay, to open up their eyes
G D Dsus4
Like You opened up my eyes
Chorus x2
G D -h- Dsus4 -p- D Em
G D -h- Dsus4 -p- D C
