The song is in the key of C#m although I suspect that it might be easier
to play with a capo on 2 and using Bm etc shapes. The song is in 6/8 time.
I've mostly only put chords but there are a few lines marked with
asterisks that have TAB tips at the end of the file.

VERSE 1:
DO#m LA
It's hiding in the corner
DO#m LA
of every sacred place
DO#m LA SI
before the ambush you won't want to
MI LA MI MI/SI LA
recognise its face
DO#m LA
It slithers like a viper
DO#m LA
readies its attack
DO#m LA SI
tears your flesh and soul apart then
MI LA MI MI/SI LA
clings on to your back
LA SOL#7/DO
not till it turns away can you
DO#m DO#m/SI
feel the pain of all the damage done
LA SOL#7/DO DO#m
and you may notice that this quick opiate
DO#m/SI LA
might wear the wings of angels
SOL#7/DO DO#m MI LA SI MI
that's when you realise you've been shot down
FA#m MI/SOL# LA FA#m MI SI
wounded unto death by something called
DO#m LA DO#m LA DO#m LA SI MI LA
love (____________instrumental__________________)
VERSE 2:
DO#m FA#m
It followed you to hell, Ange
DO#m LA
a double-agent who
DO#m LA SI
will listen to your every lie
MI LA
and never tell on you
MI LA
just whisper to you true
DO#m LA7
promises you silk things
DO#m LA
but burns the clothes you wear
DO#m LA SI
gives you leave in heaven
MI LA
and you scream that it's unfair
MI LA
to force you to compare
LA SOL#7/DO
but not till it turns away
DO#m
can you feel the pain of
DO#m/SI
all the damage done
LA SOL#7/DO
and you may notice that
DO#m
this quick opiate
DO#m/SI LA
might wear the wings of angels
SOL#7/DO DO#m MI LA SI MI
that's when you realise you've been shot down
FA#m MI/SOL# LA FA#m MI SI DO#m
wounded unto death by something called love
DO#m DO#m MI LA SI MI
you've been shot down
FA#m MI/SOL# LA FA#m MI SI MI
wounded unto death by something called love...
