Intro - guitar riff is...
G2(A), B1(C), G0(G), B1(C), D3(F), B1(C), D2(E), A3(C), A2(B), A0(A)

Am / Fmaj7 / G / Em / Fmaj7  / Dm7 / Bm then dropdown (E E, D D, C C, B B)

       Am               Fmaj7         G      Em
If the love between us    has faded away
     Fmaj7    Dm7                   Bm      (E E, D D, C C, B B)
Left in the rain, scratching at the stains
       Am           Fmaj7               G       Em
The paralysed future, the past sideways scrawl
            Fmaj7       Dm7                        Bm
I must give up on this,       it makes no sense at all
         Fmaj7
Makes no sense at all

               A
In the Cardiff afterlife,
               A
In the Cardiff afterlife
                      Am
We sense the breaking of our lives
               A
In the Cardiff afterlife
               Play opening guitar riff again...
In the Cardiff afterlife

...and its basically the same pattern all the way through.

A truly beautiful song about the disappearance of Richey James Edwards.
