Tune guitars down half a step
Intro: you can hear the open D string being hit with each strum
so this is the best way I found to play it (bit of a stretch for
the fingers but I think its manageable)

Guitar continues with that riff, and the bass plays this:
DEBG
Verse 1:
D x5777x
C x3555x
Bm x24432
G 3x0233

Taken up out of the world
Bm
Shaken up with just a word

Turned around so suddenly
D
I'm alive eternally
C
Something invisible
Bm
Has become so beautiful
G
I know I am born again
Laughing and stumbling
Prechorus:

Show me all your kingdom come
Chorus: the guitar plays octaves
D x5x7xx

D C Bm
My heart is where my treasure lies
G D
My great reward is in your eyes
C Bm
My every breath belongs to you
G
You are my treasure
(first 2 lines of intro)
Verse 2:
Take the world up out of me
Put the fruit back on the tree
I give everything to be
What only you want me to be
The treasure that you've become
Is shining brighter than the sun
Feel like I am born again
But I'm stumbling
(prechorus)
