This is a b side to Perfect Symmetry. I can't take credit for finding the chords 
to this song, but after searching for a tab for a long time, I saw the chords on a 
copy of sheet music a fan transcribed and had to share. I edited a little bit to 
make it sound a little more like the actual song. Let me know if there's anything really wrong.

G        Em    D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Em       C     Bm        D
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Em                                  Bm
Things will seem much better in the morning light
Cmaj7                       G
Love will be much easier to own
Em                                  Bm
Things will look much better in the pale sunlight
Cmaj7                     G
We can be together like before

              C          Em
You just need time to forget
              D          C
You just need time to explain
              C          Em      D     C/E
You just need time to forget yourself again

       G                     D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm                    C
Staring at the ceiling
G                      Em           Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before

  Em                                   Bm
Remember when you held someone for the first time
  Cmaj7                            G
Remember when this fire was all we had

             C            Em
Now you want life without death
             D            C
And you want love without pain
             C          Em       D     C/E
And you want time to go back and start again

       G                     D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm                    C
Staring at the ceiling
G                      Em           Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before
G                           D
Thinking of your old friends
    Bm                     C
And waiting for the feeling
G                     Em            Cmaj7
Waiting for the old burning feeling to return

      D
These days
               Cmaj7
You don't know who you are
      D
These days
               Cmaj7
You don't know where you are
      D
These days
              Cmaj7
We don't know who we are

   Em             Bm   C   D
So meet me by the wall
Em               Bm   C   D
Where we used to go

       G                     D
You're lying on the floor and
Bm                    C
Staring at the ceiling
G                      Em           Cmaj7
Thinking of a place you  have never seen before, seen before
G                         D
Waiting for the phone call
    Bm                     C
And waiting for the feeling
G                     Em           Cmaj7
Waiting for the old raging feeling to return, to return

G        Em    Cmaj7 D
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...
Em       C     Bm        
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
G        Em    Cmaj7 D
Oh-oh-oh-oh----oh----oh...
Em       C     Bm        
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Em Cmaj7 D
