My take on this wonderful song, un-capo'd and I think more accurate than the previous version.

E (022100@1)                 Bjust (x2444x@1)have to keep a dialogue
Abm (133111@4)             F#teach (244322@1)our bodies: haunt the cause
      E (022100@1)                    BI (x2444x@1)was only trying to spell a loss

                &&
little waves our bodies break

C# (x43121@1)      Abm (133111@4)F#there's (244322@1)a fire going out,
                   &&
but there's really nothing to the south

C# (x43121@1)      Abm (133111@4)F#swollen (244322@1)orange and light let through
                &&
your one piece swimmer stuck to you

B**

E (022100@1)                       Bopen (x2444x@1)ears and open eyes
E (022100@1)                       Bwake (x2444x@1)up to your starboard bride
	Abm (133111@4)                  F#who (244322@1)goes in and then stays inside
       E (022100@1)                   Boh (x2444x@1)the demons come, they can subside

B**

Notes:
Where the B** is played, the interesting thing here is that there are two
 guitars doing different things, the right one plays a Bsus4 and the left
 plays a normal B, which gives that weird sound. So combining the two we get
 Badd4. I think final B** is just what the right guitar plays during the
 previous B**s. I tried to get the end one close to what I think it is, I
 know I'm at least missing the high b, but I don't know how you'd play the
 chord with that note on a single guitar.
Also, I think the lyrics given on the website are a bit tricky, in that he's
 written "swollen orange", but clearly in the song it is "swollen ocean"
(makes more sense now, doesn't it?)
