LIKE CLOCKWORK
This is a personal work of mine because the song is really tricky and it's difficult to find right chords.
So, according to my experience, I made a more complete and accurate version. Enjoy ;)
My personal suggest is to listen to the whole song (especially to the intro) for 3/4 times first not to err.

| INTRO
 Cm/G - G#/Eb - Eb/Bb - Cm/G - Gm

| VERSE 1
 Cm         G#/Eb
 Everyone it seems
 Eb/Bb         Cm/G
 Has somewhere to go
 Gm      Cm               G#/Eb     
 And the faster the world spins
      Eb/Bb                   Cm
 The shorter the lights will glow

| VERSE 2
 Gm         Cm           G#/Eb
 And I?m swimming in the night
 Eb/Bb           Cm/G      Gm
 Chasing down the moon
      Cm         G#/Eb
 The deeper in the water
     Eb/Bb          Cm
 The more I long for you

| CHORUS
  F                            Adim/Eb       Dm
 Most of what you see my dear is purely for show
         Cm                   G#                 Gm
 Because not everything that goes around, comes back around, you know
  F                            Adim/Eb       Dm
 Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go
         Cm                   G#                 Gm
 Because not everything that goes around, comes back around, you know
  F5
 One thing that is clear: it?s all down hill from here

| INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
 C5 - Eb5 - G#5 - Cm/G - G5 - F
 C5 - Eb5 - G#5 - Cm/Eb - G5 - F
 C5 - Eb5 - G#5 - Cm/G - G5 - F
 Cm - Eb - G# - Cm/Eb - Gm - F
 Cm7 - F7/G
 Cm7 - F7/G
 Cm7 - F7/G
 Cm7 - F7/G
 Cm7 - F7
 Cm7 - F7
 Cm7 - F7
 Cm7 - F7 (this one fades in Cm/G, as follows)

 Cm/G - Eb/G - Gm (yes, there is a variation in the theme, because the music here starts sounding more "dark")

| BRIDGE
    Cm/G                G#
 The love line in your hand
   Eb/G      Cm/G
 cleverly disguised
 Csus2    Cm/G        G#
 All the promises of stone,
  Eb/G          Cm/G
 crumble in the light

| CHORUS
  F                            Adim/Eb       Dm
 Most of what you see my dear is worth letting go
         Cm                   G#                 Gm
 Because not everything that goes around, comes back around, you know
  F                            Adim/Eb       Dm
 Holding on too long is just a fear of want to show
         Cm                   G#                 Gm
 Because not everything that goes around, comes back around, you know
(stronger)  Cm        G#                 Gm
 Not everything that goes around, comes back around you know
 F5                           F5/Eb     F5/D      Cm
 One thing that is clear: it?s all down hill from here
