This is a typical Wainwright arrangement, where tons of things are going on
creating this almost impenetrable layer of sound. Like the bass that romps
around almost regardless of the chords. I've transcribed the cool bass line in
guitar pro. All bassists, check it out, it's brilliant:
But beneath the massive layer you can actually find some pretty simple chords.
That's what I've done here.

You can go out dancing
And I'll write about you, dancing without you
And I'll shed a tear between my legs

When you were here, I missed you
Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
And I shed a tear between my legs

Though we live in the same city
You live in another state far away from me and all of my unfaded charms

But when the rocket ships all fall
And the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call
Like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening

Again, I'm afraid of one thing
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing?
Wearing my heart between my legs?
But when I know you're naked
Lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
All I can say is I can't fake it

When the rocket ships all fall
And the bridges, they all buckle
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
There's a number you can call
Like a breast that you can suckle
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening again

'Cause there's a river running underground
Underneath the town towards the sea
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
