You can actually play the tune and the chords at the same time if you're a bit creative!
Verse:
I [Am]know the [G]old pa[Am]tterns
because I [C]live [D5]by the s[Am]ea,
and what I trans[G]late in wa[Am]ter,
it [C]won't come b[G]ack to [Am]haunt me.
So cut [G]another pa[Am]ttern to
make a s[C]uitable f[D5]riend of [Am]me,
and in your i[G]lluminati[Am]on
i[C]s your a[G]pology[Am].
Pre-chorus:
[C]What we keep of [G]last night while we s[Am]leep.
[C]It's what we keep of [G]last night while we [D5]sleep.
Chorus:
And I [Am]watch your g[C]rave be written all [G]over your fa[D5]ce,
on the [Am]longest day,[C] when midnight tri[G]es to take my [D5]place.
As still as I w[Am]atch your f[C]ace be written all o[G]ver your g[D5]rave,
It sho[Am]uld have passed like[C] hours, passed like [G]years, felt like [D5]days.
Verse 2:
And you [Am]live i[G]n the sh[Am]adows
of the [C]evenings y[D5]ou mis[Am]lead,
but they're too real to [G]be forgo[Am]tten,
c G Am
if you choose the right company.
And I run each f[G]inger through the [Am]dust
and only t[C]hrough your h[D]air in sl[Am]eep
but it's like the first breath [G]in the morn[Am]ing,
and it b[C]rings the pa[G]st back to [Am]me.
Pre-chorus:
[C]What we keep of [G]last night while we s[Am]leep.
It de[C]pends what we keep of [G]last night while we [D5]sleep.
Chorus:
And I [Am]watch your g[C]rave be written all [G]over your fa[D5]ce,
on the [Am]longest day,[C] I watch people fig[G]ht to take my [D5]place.
As still as I w[Am]atch your f[C]ace be written all o[G]ver your g[D5]rave,
It sho[Am]uld have passed like[C] years, passed like [G]hours, lost in d[D5]ays.

Chorus:
And I [Am]watch your g[C]rave be written all [G]over your fa[D5]ce,
on the [Am]longest day,[C] when midnight tri[G]es to take my [D5]place.
As still as I w[Am]atch your f[C]ace be written all o[G]ver your g[D5]rave,
What s[Am]hould have passed li[C]ke hours, passed lik[G]e years, passed like [D5]days.
Solo:
The solo isn't played on guitar (although neither is the main riff!) but I've tabbed it
