Hi! This is a great song from the new album "Backspacer" and I wanted to make an
acoustic version of it. It sounds OK to me, not perfect, but good enough. :-D Play 
along with the song to figure out the timing.
If you have any corrections, please let me know!
Enjoy!

Intro: Bm 
       D (xx0232@1)Bm (x24432@1) 5x
       D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)Verse: it's the same as the intro and it's kind of hard to write down the correct 
timing so you'll have to listen to the song to figure it out.
 
Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)   Bm (x24432@1)              D (xx0232@1)
 Understand she's a force of nature
Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)    Bm (x24432@1)         D (xx0232@1) 
 Contraband hiding deep inside her soul
Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)   Bm (x24432@1)   D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)Exorcising her will to lose control
        G (320003@1)She lets go

A common man, he don't stand a chance, no
Wonderland pulling Alice in the hole
No way to save someone who won't take the rope
And just let's go

Chorus: 
D (xx0232@1)                AOne (x02220@1)man stands the edge of the ocean
  Bm (x24432@1)          GA (320003@1)beacon on dry land
     D (xx0232@1)          AEyes (x02220@1)upon the horizon
       Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_320003@1">G    A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1) (D  Bm)4x    
In the dark before the dawn

Verse:
Hurricane has the trade winds blowing
A gale force shaking windows in the storm
Shipwreck on the rock that he calls home
With one light on

Chorus
D (xx0232@1)                 ASomewhere (x02220@1)there's a siren singing
  Bm (x24432@1)         GA (320003@1)song only he hears
        D (xx0232@1)                     AAll (x02220@1)the strength that you might think
          Bm (x24432@1)     A (x02220@1)name="chord_320003@1">G  A (x02220@1)  
Would disappear,.. Resolving

D (xx0232@1)            AOne (x02220@1)man stands alone, Awaiting
Bm (x24432@1)            GFor (320003@1)her to come home
     D (xx0232@1)          AEyes (x02220@1)upon the horizon
   Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1)name="chord_320003@1">G    A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)  G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)       
In dark before the darkness meets the dawn.

Bridge: 
A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1) 2x
         A (x02220@1)      
Makes me ache,... Makes me shake,...
         Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)   A (x02220@1)  Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)F#Is (244322@1)it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

Verse:
Last I saw, he was out there waiting
A silhouette in the black light, full moon glow
In the sand there he stands upon the shore
Forevermore

Chorus
D (xx0232@1)                 ASomewhere (x02220@1)there's a siren singing
  Bm (x24432@1)         GA (320003@1)song only he hears
        D (xx0232@1)                     A (x02220@1)All the strength that you might think
          Bm (x24432@1)   A (x02220@1)name="chord_320003@1">G  AWould (x02220@1)disappear, resolving

D (xx0232@1)            AOne (x02220@1)man stands along, Awaiting
Bm (x24432@1)            GFor (320003@1)her to come home
         D (xx0232@1)                  AEyes (x02220@1)are closed,.. You cannot know
        Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)   G (320003@1)  A (x02220@1)   
But his heart don't seem to 
D (xx0232@1)   A (x02220@1)   Bm (x24432@1)   G (320003@1)
roam.

Outro: play D  A  Bm  G a few times and end with
G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)
