I tabbed this out after seeing several others that were a little off, but i think
this should be aboslutely correct.  I did not tab out second guitar riffs, but i
could so so if requested. This also sounds great acoustic like 
Collective Soul did it on their DVD.

Repeat this for verses as necessary

Just tilt my sun towards 
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.

Ambiance and vanity.

December songs no longer I sing
