Song: When the Body Speaks
Artist: Depeche Mode
Album: Exciter
By: Martin Gore
Transcribed by: Nat Hostetler (ultimavatar@yahoo.com)

This is a very pretty and very sad song. 
I have always felt like Martin can read my mind as he
writes songs like "I want you now"and such, and here's
another one. I know exactly what he's talking about. 
I have no Idea if this is right, but it sound pretty
close. If anybody could help, that would be great. I
especially had trouble with the chorus chords. This is
my first time transcribing something.
****UPDATE****
Someone emailed me and helped out with the chords. In
sheer stupitidy, I accidentally deleted the email, and
so our masked hero will remain nameless.

The song starts out with some kind off synth bass line
that carries 
out through the whole song pretty much and a strings
section. 
Then he starts singing and the guitar kicks in right
away
