It's not every single strum, but it's the closest thing to an accurate tab 
of this song in existence. For all of you out there, like me, who have sat and played
your acoustic guitar with this song on repeat, trying to figure out what the hell he's
doing, may this tab alleviate some of your pain.

	is it just me or does the acoustic intro sound almost exactly like the opening to Fade to Black by Metallica ?

	Now that I finally read the lyircs after years of listening to this song, I realize the beauty of the lyrics. Sometimes i get so caught up with singing along with glen, and into the sound of his voice and the music, i forget the meaning behind the lyrics. "is it they fear the pain of death or could it be they fear the joy of life" This reminds me of all the people who cried out against Jesus. The people knew that they might be killed if they did not yell out for Barabas, yet they forfeited the joy of life when they betrayed jesus. Do we forfeit joy in life when we become judgemental, an act reserved for God, rather than man?

	i read this biblical scholars explanation about this song. something about jesus right about the time before he died. it made sense. this song is one of the most romantic songs ever. the end chorus is so beautiful. well done toad. I'll miss you guys! namaste webb

	The OT "eye for an eye" type gods WAS Jesus (at least according to Jesus). I don't know if TtWS is supposed to be a Christian band, but I see the lyrics as a juxtaposition between the God who lays Himself on the altar for His people, and the pagan gods who demand a sacrifice or payment in order to earn their love. However, I could also see TtWS lumping the Christian God in with all the others and saying that only he, the singer, gives his love freely.
