Standard tuning 
 
*Verse* 
      C#5 
Wanna hold you like a secret, wanna hold you like a hand 
      A5 
Wanna hold you like a prisoner in the arms of my remand 
E5          B5 
Caught for good 


           C#5 
Because to leave you with those days is never something I could do 
         A5 
There'll always be a part of me that needs to be with you 
       E5           B5    
That's just what's true 
 

C#5                                    A5 
There you were black silver dressed in gold 
                      E5  
Like every story ever told 
                          B5 
A million words in so few sentences 
 

         C#5                             A5 
When you spoke to me, it rang out like a song 
                               E5         B5 
That dared all ears to hear it wrong 
 

         C#5 
To never know, to never see, to never reach a place to be 
         A5 
To never understand your way has put a limit on my days 
   E5               B5 
So long, it's too late 
 
*Chorus* 
          A5     E5 
So I said heart,  
A5       E5 
   Translate 
    A5      B5             A5             E5 
Cos I dont understand a thing that you say 
 
...and so it continues in the same vein for the rest of the song.  The little outro bit  

("Maybe we'll see it all as it's fading away...") uses the same chord sequence as the chorus. 

Aiii!
