I figured this out from watching The Beths' RNZ session ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLCe5rr-KFE ),
which is pretty nicely shot for tabbing/picking up any mistakes I've made here.

[Verse]
When you're D6/9/Anear E/A
My heart starts D6/9/Abeating faster E/A
The world starts D6/9/Amoving slowerE/A
And I just D6/9/Afreeze E/A D6/9/A
And it's cold, the steam escE/Aapes
Through my lips and dissiD6/9/Apates
And you breathe it inE/A
We all breathe it in D6/9/A
Your smile it makes me E/Aweak
And the red spreads through myD6/9/A cheeks
You make me feel three glasses E/Ain
[Pre-Chorus]
And you say my B5name
My legs support a little C#5less
My tongue becomes a little D5mess
My lips are longing to conE5fess
B5My lungs they catch on every C#5breath
My heart beats harder at the D5cage
Inside my E5chest
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
(D6/9/A E/A progression repeats)
Come and go
A lightning bolt in daytime
The birds into my eyeline
You're all I see
There's no sign of the sun
So the moon moves out in front
She wants to be aligned
We all want to be aligned
And your voice it makes me weak
I'm wasted when you speak
You hit me hard as red wine
[Pre-Chorus]
(B5 C#5 D5 E5 progression repeats)
And you say my name
My legs support a little less
My tongue becomes a little mess
My lips are longing to confess
My lungs they catch on every breath
My heart beats harder at the cage
Inside my chest
[Chorus]
(Dadd9/A E/A progression repeats)
I die, I die a little death
I die, I die a little death
I die, I die a little death
I die, I die a little death

[Outro]
(B5 C#5 D5 E5 progression repeats)
You say my name (You said, you said)
My balance takes a little rest (I'd die, I'd die)
My conscience hung under duress (You said, you said)
My twitching fingers do their best (I'd die, I'd die)
To keep their wandering selves in check (You said, you said)
My mind it finds a new address (I'd die, I'd die)
This life is cursed, you're heaven blessed (You said, you said)
This human god, this honoured guest (I'd die, I'd die)
Filling up the emptiness (You said, you said)
My legs support a little less (I'd die, I'd die)
My tongue becomes a little mess (You said, you said)
My lips are longing to confess (I'd die, I'd die)
But I'll never tell, you'll never guess (You said, you said)
My lungs they catch on every breath (I'd die, I'd die)
My heart beats harder at the cage (You said, you said)
Inside my chest
(Dadd9/A E/A progression repeats)
And I die, I die a little death (You say my name)
I die, I die a little death (You say my name)
I die, I die a little death (You say my name)
I die, I die a little death
