Sanctuary
Utada Hikaru
Kingdom Hearts II OST
Standard tuning
------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
This song has multiple sections and many of
the lyrics are played in reverse throughout the song.
I've done the best I could to piece it together so
it's a bit easier to follow.  I hope you enjoy.
Also, the lyrics surround by "[ ]" are reversed
in the recording.  Some of the chords over the lyrics,
mainly the backtracked ones are not accurately placed,
but they are the correct chords.  Just listen to the song
for proper timing.
EDIT:  "Fill parts corrected.  The slides are now more
clear.
/ = Slide up
\ = slide down

	It speaks about a girl who has at last found somebody she can rely on,so she feels safe,but she asks for more(if you read the weird lines reversed,they say:"I need more affection than you know"and:"I need true emotions"). It also says that,when you are in love,everything seems new. 1

	my neighbour plays this song so often it isnt even funny. at first i pretended to get annoyed that it was constantly on, but after a while, i have to admit that it grew on me. now i really like it, just coz its catchy and anyone could probably relate it to their lives. i think its about two people in love and its about everything being new, and i dunno, it kinda gives the feeling of these 2 ppl being unstoppable if that makes sense. :D - hayles -
