Notation:  ==   hold note for this long     X  mute strings & crunch 'em
           \    slide down                  /  slide up
It's hard to write down the timing of the crunching correctly, but if
you listen to the recording you should be able to figure it out.... :)

Lyrics:
you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
and i'm waiting    when i return to her i find
and i'm waiting    flowers of evil in my mind
and i'm waiting    dancing with fire on the edge
and i'm waiting    remembering all of what she said
and i'm waiting    hoping the rains will wash away
and i'm waiting    hoping a guide will show the way
and i'm waiting    dancing with fire on the edge
and i'm waiting    remembering all of what she said
with this fire in the head...
sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
this is the way, step inside...

This is the author's interpretation.
I must give credit where it's due.  The tuning is directly from the Tea
Party's Official Web Site, so you know it is authentic and also that
I didn't figure it out myself!  Anyways, I also have to give credit
to Paul Stipack, although he has never talked to me, his tab for this
song is the basis for my interpretation.
Tuning (low to high):  DADF#AD
^=hammer on
/=slide
=harmonics on whatever fret
