POST-CHORUS - This starts immediately after "CHORUS 3," with Daryl's "God, true love is
timeless . . ." After "CHORUS 3" just strum the chord progression of the choruses over
and over again until the end of the song.
NOTE: This is a beautiful song - although there isn't a lick of guitar in the track, this
arrangement should capture the essential sound and feel, especially on an acoustic.
If "INTRO" makes no sense, just ignore it.
