This is the first tab i submit because i think the other Crystalised tabs are way more
than the song actually is. And this is a great song.
I hope you all enjoy. Off course you can mess around with some notes on certain parts
the chorus and the bridge part.
Please note that this tab is based upon the accoustic version (the one from Amsterdan Accoutics)

You applied the pressure to help me crystalize-i-ize
And you've got the faith, that i could bring paradi-i-ise.
I'll forgive and forget before I'm paralyzed.
Do I have to keep up the pace to keep you satisfied? High.
Things have gotten closer to the sun, and I've done things in small doses.
So don't think that I'm pushing you away when you're the one that I've kept closest.

You don't move slow taking steps in my direction,
The sound resounds, echoes, does it lessen your affection? No.
You say I'm foolish for pushing this aside,
Burn down our home I won't leave alive.

Glaciers have melted to the sea, I wish the tide would have take me over.
I've been down on my knees, and you just keep on getting closer.

No guitars playing on this part
Knock on guitar for "drum" effect
