Beautiful song and quite simple. My cat just died...
and for some reason this is the only song I can listen to right now...
...without thinking it is stupid.
Picking pattern in the intro continues throughout the song.
I played around with strumming and picking for the Chorus, do what like there.

VERSE:
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the ruler
G
From which you measured all
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the dizzying height
G
From which you wished to fall
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the white and cozy apparition
G
towering in your dreams
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be
G
Love used to be
PICKING PATTERN AND CHORDS SAME AS ABOVE:
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the horseshoe made of iron
G
And always smiling up
Cmaj7 C/B
And in your arms it gathered all manner
G
Of silky satin golden luck
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the pyramid and on top
G
Its eye that always sees
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be
G
Love used to be
CHORUS:
Am C
Dig a six foot hole
D
Inside my chest
Am C
Heart like a grave stone
D
Laid down to rest
Am C G
Good-bye love
D G
Amen
VERSE:
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be a sigh like petals
G
Gently falling down
Cmaj7 C/B
From the flower of my lover's
G
Half open rose bud mouth
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the thirst, oh and the quenching
G
The question in need of answering
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be
G
Love used to be
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be hope unflinching
G
A dare that believed it must
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the heady drunken feeling of
G
Flesh heavy with lust
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be a photograph of the future
G
taken by one mind four eyes could see
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be
G
Love used to be
CHORUS:
Am C
Dig a six foot hole
D
Inside my chest
Am C
Heart like a grave stone
D
Laid down to rest
Am C G
Good-bye love
D G
Amen
VERSE:
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be a miracle
G
The proof that God exists
Cmaj7 C/B
As I doubled our image, immortality delivered
G
by the double helix
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be the bedrock you built a life upon
G
Into the future reaching
Cmaj7 C/B
It used to be what woke you each day
G
And eased me into sleeping
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be my compass
G
But now I'm alone and I'm adrift and I'm lost at sea
Cmaj7 C/B
'Cause love used to be
G
Love used to be
Cmaj7 C/B
Love used to be
G
Love used to be
Hope you will enjoy...
