In 6/8 time I think. Each chord is played for two bars each (so strum 12 times each chord!)

I like to play this song without capo, and I personally prefer using bar chords in this 
particular song.

INTRO:   A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)                     (two bars each the whole way through the song!)
         A (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)A (x02220@1)G (320003@1)A (x02220@1)VERSE

BmThis (x24432@1)light at the end of the day
                            AWhen (x02220@1)even the highways seem still
                           G (320003@1)         AThe (x02220@1)map in my hands folded shut

BmThere (x24432@1)isn't one magical word
                          A (x02220@1)But a carnival of them instead
                            G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)Like an old, silent cinema screen

BmIn (x24432@1)this light you are framed classically
                                  A (x02220@1)Just a painting that hangs in my head
                                 G (320003@1)       A (x02220@1)That I know like the back of my hand

Bm (x24432@1)And with the sun set, the neon awakes
                                    A (x02220@1)And the cold colours dance on your skin
                            G (320003@1)Finally the modern makes sense to me

CHORUS
        AYou're (x02220@1)effortless, you know you are
     Bm (x24432@1)And all I want to do
     A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A (x02220@1)Our shadows kiss before we do
  Bm (x24432@1)Right here in the dark
   A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)             A (x02220@1)I revel in the calm before the storm

VERSE
                         BmThe (x24432@1)garden is haunted by us
                               A (x02220@1)And every mistake that we've made
                                G (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)Is at peace coz it led us both here
                                 Bm (x24432@1)The thought that just burns into me
                          A (x02220@1)Of you in the ink of the night
                                G (320003@1)Is the breath-taking danger of you

CHORUS
       AYou're (x02220@1)effortless, you know you are
     Bm (x24432@1)And all I want to do

A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)Is let you lead me off into the dusk
     A (x02220@1)Our shadows kiss before we do
  Bm (x24432@1)Right here in the dark
   A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)I revel in the calm before the storm



AThis (x02220@1)is life
         Bm (x24432@1)This is all I want from life
          A (x02220@1)                           G (320003@1)It's the fervour and the tenderness combined.
        AIn (x02220@1)the dark,
        Bmin (x24432@1)the ever-falling dark,
        A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)we are anchorless adrift but barely notice
