  My alley becomes a cathedral

Repeat verse progression

2nd verse:
Eyes can be archways
To enter or leave by
Vacuums replaced by a crystal

(From here it basically goes into the verse chords again but higher up the neck.
I never figured that part out entirely.  I think a 2nd guitar comes in, too)

You let yourself love it
But like a moth's wing it's easily crushed 

Jesus don't let tomorrow take my love away
