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):

browser)

And now the song (this IS how it sounds):
Intro riff
Verse:
DOmaj7
Smells in the air,
DO9 DOmaj7 DO9
See there it's crashing the final impression that stains the paper
MIm
Where the words felt like water,
MIm7 MIm
Unearth all the changes that never did matter,
Em7 riff (w/ same chords but quiet in background)
I think it's beginning to freeze here
after riff:
DOmaj7 DO9
Caught in the rage and the fire of things,
DOmaj7 DO9
All the brightness that burns me, I'm fumbling through like a
MIm MIm7
Child in the dark, when the nakedness comes,
MIm MIm7
I am shocked by the colour, the glorious weight of your
Chorus (first word of chorus is the end of the previous sentance):
LAm
Skin
DO
Comes alive
SOL RE LAm
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
DO
Might be nice
SOL RE
But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
LAm DO
Comes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
Verse 2: (after end of riff)
DOmaj7
Here please forgive me,
DO9 DOmaj7 DO9
how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness?
(pickup) Em Em7
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
MIm MIm7 DOmaj7
Intellectualize, over and over this helplessness suits us,
DO9 DOmaj7 DO9
It's funny how quiet has slipped to our corners and worn all our edges
MIm MIm7
Away you are watching, breathing and baiting,
MIm MIm7
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
DOmaj7 DO9
For some simple signal, to creep 'cross our conscience,
DOmaj7 DO9
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I
MIm MIm7
Carried you down, to the St. Lawrence River,
MIm MIm7 DOmaj7 DO9
The banks running dirty, the water is beginning to freeze here,
DOmaj7 DO9
Solid by morning,
MIm MIm7
And I'll freeze here,
MIm MIm7
Be winter by mornaaaayaayaaiang
Chorus 2
LAm DO
Comes alive
SOL RE LAm
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
DO
Might be nice
SOL RE
But it's only my own destroyer
LAm DO
Comes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always knew I'd make it up to... you
Verse 3, more quiet: (After riff)
DOmaj7 DO9
I saw on your face, such a curious grin,
DOmaj7 DO9
As I let go your hand I was desparate to hold you
MIm MIm7
Again, but you're sinking, too deep in the water,
MIm MIm7
Outsmarted myself, and so easily gave up what I
(insert riff here)
DOmaj7 DO9
Wanted,
DOmaj7 DO9
Solid by morning,
MIm MIm7
What I wanted,
MIm MIm7
Be winter by mornaaaayaayaaiang
Chorus 3
LAm DO
Comes alive
SOL RE LAm
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
DO
Might be nice
SOL RE
But I always knew you're my destroyer
LAm DO
Comes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
Outro (after riff):
DOmaj7 DO9 DOmaj7 DO9
Solid by morning
MIm MIm7
And I'll freeze here... let ring
