I love this song, such great chord progressions and vocals. Noticed it wasn't on the
site before so thought I'd give it a go.
This is my first tab so it's mostly correct, but there were a few chords I was unsure of.
Worked the tab out with the help of a video from YouTube:

Meet me in the middle of my mind, and no one else.
I've been waiting here now, I need your help.
Like the time you tore my skin and all the world went blank.
I've never felt such real escape, it bled into the day.
e-|-------------0--------------1-----1-1----|
B-|-------------0--------------1-----1-1----| Note: Hold every second note, and I
G-|-------------0--------------2-----2-2----| like to strum the Em chord backwards

A-|----2----3---2-----2----3---3-----3-3----|
E-|--3----5-----0---3----5-----1-----1-1----|
I stress talking, so much that it hurts, then
Can't speak but a word to a lover that was.

I'm gonna paint myself aside like something second in line
Just gonna paint myself aside like something second in line

Meet me in the middle of the night; I never sleep
Since you told me all the secrets that I swore to keep
In my dreams I can make love to you without a fight
And sometimes I wonder if it's wrong or if it's right

I'm going silver, all over silver.
Bit unsure of those last chords, particularly the C...but it's roughly correct.
Enjoy!
