Standard tuning, no capo.

he plays E5 , E5 , E5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , A5 , A5 , A5 , A5 , A5 in the intro, but
for simplicity, I'll write the intro and verse as "E, B, A"

if you listen to the song, you can hear where he adds the variations, but it
would just clutter it up if I wrote it out.

   E5  E5   B5   B5   A5   A5    (and for the chorus) C#5
e | -----------------------------------------------------------4- | 
B | -0----0-----4-----4-----2-----3----------------------------5- | 
G | -1----2-----4-----6-----2-----2----------------------------6- | 
D | -2----2-----4-----4-----2-----2----------------------------6- | 
A | -2----2-----2-----2-----0-----0----------------------------4- |

intro
E5 , B5 , A5  x4

E5    B5               A5
Hey, another numbing light of early morning
E5        B5                 A5
 another pile of half-read books
E5         B5            A5
 nice and safe in my serene surroundings
E5     B5                A5
 evil smiles and empty looks
E5   B5           A5
why justify why you can think at all?
            E5   B5   A5
i guess i'm far too safe
E5    B5            A5
cry, falsify this turmoil of emotion
           E5    B5  A5
and you'll feel no pain, but

E5                    B5
 i'm pretty sure the sun will rise and
C#5
   give me the strength to shield my eyes
     B5                                  A5
from all the lights and all the lies of compromise
    E5               B5
and i always try to understand
    C#5                        
but looking back, it's hard to 
B5
know that you were bought and sold
      A5
for a box filled full of spanish gold


he plays the intro 4 more times, but slows down throughout, and bend the accent notes.
listen to the song and it makes sense. then from this point until the '*',
just strum the chord once and let it ring.  when you get to the '*',
start playing the intro/ verse riff again


E5   B5                                  A5             
  i sifted through some archives yesterday
E5   B5                 A5  
    met you in a photograph
E5           B5               A5
 i saw your face and simply had to look away
E5   B5                             A5
  i know that that would make you laugh

*E5  B5             A5
 so many things i guess i should remember
      E5     B5    A5
but i don't know how
E5  B5              A5
so many things so easy to forget
          E5    B5   A5
i guess i miss you now, but

E5                   B5
i'm pretty sure the sun will rise and
C#5
   give me the strength to shield my eyes
     B5                                  A5
from all the lights and all the lies of compromise
   E5                B5         
and is this a faded memory or 
C#5                                       
   did i see you crawling 
B5                           A5
out towards the open sea so sad and free 
    E5
without me

E5  B5   A5
  oh, without me  x3

  E5                    B5       A5
i bid farewell to the faded memory

E5 B5 A5

then play around with the E and B for the end
