The Good Left Undone - Rise Against (Acoustic Cover)

So it's pretty much the same thing as the Paper Wings cover, this is a great song, and when it's slowed down and put acoustically, its so beautiful.
As I see it this song tells of how, in a world (field) full of ugly and aggressive people (weeds) he finds a beautiful flower. He falls in love but in the process rips her away from what makes her happy (the roots). As he realizes that she is dying inside (petals browning) he tries to make her happy again but there is nothing he can do but return her home. He misses her and can't sleep, and when he does he dreams of being overwhelmed in the unfamiliar and unaccustomed ocean and wanting to return home (the shore) so he can feel safe again, just how she might feel. And even though he had to let her go, it gave him hope that there may be other angels--or flowers--in the world like her, the one that not only showed him beauty in others, but also the value of one's home--the home that, to him, had become a strange place.

Chords:
It starts with some sort of C#m chord, not exact probably, but it's easiest for me. (I'm in half step down tuning btw)

Lyrics:

In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
Bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
I pulled until the roots gave in,
Finding there what I'd been missing,

But I know...
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

Inside my hands these petals browned,
Dried up, fallen to the ground
But it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
Returned this flower to the dirt,
So it could live. I walked away now.

But I know...
Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

All because of you...
All because of you...

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
Inside these arms of yours.

All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

Neither does it rock, nor is it really emotional...Technically probably not wrong, but a bit...I don't know, "lame" sounds too harsh I tink :D
