[Intro]
G#  Cm     F  Bb
G#  Cm     F  Bb
G#

[Verse 1]
Cm                           G#  Bb     G#
These weeks cast shadows on me
Cm               G#     Bb      G#
A few disguises maybe
Cm                                G#        Bb  G#
How lines begin to blur beneath my gaze
Cm                           G#                 Bb
One dream within another, it’s all a dream to me

[Chorus 1]
        Eb              Bb
And I don’t know anymore
            Eb                  Bb
Will you tell me what you’re looking for
        Cm               Gm
You’ve magnified a thousand times
        F                   Bb
But the piece is missing by design

[Verse 2]
Cm                   G#    Bb           G#
A shadow fell on me today
Cm                             G#               Bb
It paralyzed my tongue eclipsed my brain

[Chorus 2]
        Eb              Bb
And I don’t know anymore
            Eb                  Bb
Will you tell me what you’re looking for
          Cm             Gm
You’ve dug for us a dozen holes
      F                 Bb
To harness what you can’t control

(aaah section, same as chorus)
Eb      Bb
Eb      Bb

F  Eb           F   Dm       Bb

(space-guitar solo - brooding & deep, sounds a lot like Interpol though)
Cm              G#      Bb              G#
Cm              G#      Bb              G#

Cm              G#      Bb

[Chorus 3]
          Eb             Bb
You’ve gotta let me in
Eb                     Bb
Yeah you’ve gotta let me know
    Cm               Gm
If we could never let it go
        F            Bb
How could I ever say hello
    Eb                    Bb
If I had known what I found out today
   Eb                         Bb
I would have washed my hands and walked away
       Cm               Gm
For now I’m in the lion’s den
F                             Bb
Tonight I’ll breathe fresh air again — oh, oh ——— Woo!

[Outro]

(go all out)
