I know there's an easier way to play it, but this is how THEY play it
(more or less)
The easy way is at the bottom.
I tried to line the lyrics up as closely as I could, but it's not quite
accurate.

(no guitar for verse 1)

With nothing to lose
you'd waste away,
obscured in exile.
They've witnessed the times
you've gone astray,
whose fault?  Now you're thinking...
There's nothing to prove...
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

(no guitar for verse 2)

So strange are the ways
they all have changed,
still life it stays the same.
A break from the past
could make it last, oh,
maybe just a little longer.
There's nothing to prove...
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Full lyrics (what's in the song, not what's at the www.teaparty.com
website)

Verse 1:
With nothing to lose
you'd waste away,
obscured in exile.
They've witnessed the times
you've gone astray,
whose fault?  Now you're thinking...
There's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Chorus 1:
And it feels now,
just like heaven's coming down

Verse 2:
So strange are the ways
they all have changed,
still life it stays the same.
A break from the past
could make it last, oh,
maybe just a little longer.
There's nothing to prove...
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby...

Chorus 2:
And it feels now,
just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
as its conscience hits the ground

Bridge:
You surrender
Love under will
Rest assured baby,
You're adored

Chorus 3:
And it feels now,
just like heaven's coming down.
Your soul shakes free,
as its conscience hits the ground.
these signs, this fate,
takes the path you didn't choose.
Stay strong, keep faith,
there's a change that's coming through.

Outro:
hold on my love
hold on...
