So, for as many times as I've listened to this, and how much I love it, these chords 
seem pretty accurate, but if you notice anything wrong, let me know.

D
She got down on hands and knees,
     Asus4           G
One ear against the ground,
        D
Holding her breath to hear something,
          Asus4          G
But the dirt made not a sound tonight

D                          Asus4                  G
Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores,
         D                                  Asus4             G
Where we danced just to please the gods that only ask for more,

      Bm
So it goes
             A                   G
But still we give ourselves to this
G
We can't spend our lives waiting to live

D
On cold nights
Asus4
In a prayer for dawn
Bm
But daylight
G
Isn't what she wants

D
The concrete
Asus4
Calls my name again
Bm
I'm falling
G
Through the cracks I slip

D
The postcard says wish you were here
         Asus4         G
But I'd rather I was there,
       D                       Asus4              G
Holding on to the simple things before they disappear,
                 Bm
That's what I meant
              A                G
But that was then, and this is now
G
I'll make it up to you somehow

D
On cold nights
Asus4
In a prayer for dawn
Bm
But daylight
G
Isn't what she wants

D
The concrete
Asus4
Calls my name again
Bm
I'm falling
G
Through the cracks I slip

Bm             A
A destination, a fading smile.
D               G
Another station, another mile.
Bm               A
Another day gone, I swore that I will.
D
Be there before dawn.
G
So be there, I will.

D
She got down on hands and knees,
    Asus4         G
One ear against the ground,
       D
Holding her breath to hear something,
Asus4         G
Anything at all
G
The dirt whispered, "Child, I'm coming home"

D
On cold nights
Asus4
In a prayer for dawn
Bm
But daylight
G
Isn't what she wants

D
The concrete
Asus4
Calls my name again
Bm
I'm falling
G
Through the cracks I slip
