This song has a recurring riff that breaks the vocals. Here it is (I
don't know if it's exactly correct, but it sounds pretty damn close):

And now the song (this IS how it sounds):
Intro: riff
Verse:
Cmaj7Smells in the air,
C9See there it's crashing the Cmaj7final impression that stains the C9paper
Where the Emwords felt like water,
UneEm7arth all the changes that Emnever did matter,
Em7 riff (w/ same chords but quiet in background)
I think it's beginning to freeze here
after riff:
Cmaj7Caught in the rage and the C9fire of things,
All the Cmaj7brightness that burns me, I'm C9fumbling through like a
EmChild in the dark, when the nEm7akedness comes,
I am shEmocked by the colour, the glEm7orious weight of your
Chorus (first word of chorus is the end of the previous sentance):
AmSkin
Comes alCive
And I nGever thought we'd mDake it back so sAmoon
Might be nCice
But I knGew you'd be your oDwn destroyer
Am Comes a tCime
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
Verse 2: (after end of riff)
Cmaj7Here please forgive me,
how coC9uld we escape all the bCmaj7itterness piled upon bC9itterness'
(pickup) Em Em7
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
IntellEmectualize, Em7over and over this heCmaj7lplessness suits us,
It's fC9unny how quiet has sliCmaj7pped to our corners and wC9orn all our edges
AwEmay you are watching, brEm7eathing and baiting,
EmWanting and warming and cEm7autiously waiting
For soCmaj7me simple signal, to crC9eep 'cross our conscience,
UncCmaj7over redemption and C9oh did I mention I
EmCarried you down, to the Em7St. Lawrence River,
The bEmanks running dirty, the wEm7ater is beginning to frCmaj7eeze here, C9
Solid by mCmaj7orning, C9
And I'll freEmeze here, Em7
Be winter by mEmornaaaayEm7aayaaiang
Chorus 2:
Am Comes alCive
And I nGever thought you'd gDet me back so sAmoon
Might be nCice
But it's Gonly my Down destroyer
Am Comes a tCime
G D riff with chords
When I always knew I'd make it up to... you
Verse 3, more quiet: (After riff)
Cmaj7I saw on your face, such a cC9urious grin,
As I lCmaj7et go your hand I was dC9esparate to hold you
AgEmain, but you're sinking, too dEm7eep in the water,
OutsmEmarted myself, and so Em7easily gave up what I
(insert riff here)
Cmaj7Wanted, C9
Solid by mCmaj7orning, C9
What I wEmanted, Em7
Be winter by mEmornaaaayEm7aayaaiang
Chorus 3:
Am Comes alCive
And I nGever thought you'd mDake it up so sAmoon
Might be nCice
But I Galways knew you're mDy destroyer
Am Comes a tCime
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
