there isn't any guitar on the first verse, but I tabbed them anyway.
Csus2 Bm7
something tells me that I'm left without a chance
Csus2
in my supicious attempts to get her close
Bm7
enough to close my lips around her smile
now I can't close my eyes when she's around
Csus2
she is around
Em (Dsus4) D
passing like the wind that shapes the clouds
Bm7 Csus2
she is around, she is around

play the part above twice.
Csus2 Bm7
I don't know how but suddenly it has been a while
Csus2
and we've been walking in through that same front door
Bm7
undressing like there were no parts to hide
and calling each other names we never had
Csus2
you never heard
Em
and then an unexpected turn
Dsus4 D
and we hit the kerb
Bm7 Csus2
a stupid term, a fatal word
------
The tricky part about the chorus is that the first time they play it, they play a C
instead of Am, which they play the second time. Here's the way i play it. You don't
have to play the melody, but that's what Kasper does live.

C
flutter girl
Em
killing me with her sunshine
Dsus4 D
sun - shine
C
she's so unaware
C G D D7
that she's my melpomene
-----
the next part I borrowed from the other version on this site. I wouldn't play the
chords in this part, but the bass can use the notes.
C C/h
you broke the code
Am Em
just like I'm sure you always do
D C
without intentions but I know
Em D
that's how I broke away from you
Bm C
now that the clouds are obsolete
G Am
I hope you landed on your feet
Em
without those evil demons

I can't figure out the guitar in this next section, but anyway it looks like Kasper
does something completely different live. And here's how that sounds:
keeping... running out of time...

--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
--10-------9--------7-------5--------3----------2---------6---------|
--*--------*--------*-------*--------*----------*---------*---------|
keeping you reminded of
the wars they pulled us through
as fragile hearts ran short of glue
as we're both running out of time
and seek to drown the fact in wine
it should be honest and na�ve
like we should give, we should receive
I must be jaded fading
out of function into solitude

this next part is played with power chords.
Warning: do not confuse these chords for major or minor or whatever.
chords for solo:
