Do What You Have To Do Chords

(ver. 1)
Mclachlan Sarah
I usually both arpegiate and strum these chords to help set a somber mood.
I tried to keep this transcription fairly simple because it was originally
played on piano.  This song was written after Sarah received some rather
disturbing letters from some obsessed fans. Enjoy.

G  - 320022      Bm    - x24432
D  - x00232      A     - x02220
[Verse1]
  [Em]                  [G]                      [D]     [Aadd9]
What Ravages of spirit conjured this temptuous rage.
[Em]                    [G]                   [Bm]
Created you a monster, broken by the rule of love.
  [Em]                             [G]                   [D]  [Aadd9]
And fate has led you through it, you do what you have to do.
  [Em]                             [G]                  [A]
And fate has led you through it, you do what you have to do.
[Chorus]
 [Bm]               [G]
I have the sense to recognize, 
    [D]          [Aadd9]        [Em]     [D][G]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)
[Verse2]
[Em]              [G]                      [D]     [Aadd9]
Every moment marked with apparitions of your soul
  [Em]                  [G]                   [Bm]
I'm ever swiftly moving, trying to escape this desire.
 [Em]                        [G]                 [D]   [Aadd9]
The yearning to be near you, I do what I have to do.
  [Em]                       [G]                [A]
The yearning to be near you, I do what I have to do.
[Chorus]
    [Bm]               [G]
And I have the sense to recognize, 
    [D]          [Aadd9]        [Em]     [D][G]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)
[D]        [Aadd9]        [Em]   [D] [Em]  [Verse-2-Chords] 
I don't know how to let you go
[Verse-Chords-For-Solo-if-Desired]
[Verse3]
[Em]              [G]        [D]
 A glowing ember, burning hot, and burning slow.
[Em]                         [G]                     [Bm]
Deep within I'm shaken by the violence of existing for only you.
 [Em]                        [G]                 [D]   [Aadd9]
I know I can't be with you, I do what I have to do.
 [Em]                        [G]              [A] 
I know I can't be with you, I do what I have to do.
[Chorus]
    [Bm]               [G]
And I have the sense to recognize, 
    [D]         [Aadd9]        [Em]     [D][G]
That I don't know how to let you go  (quick^change)
[D]        [Aadd9]        [Em]   [D] [Em] 
I don't know how to let you go
[D]        [Aadd9]        [Em] (slow-strum) 
I don't know how to let you go
