THEN Robert Smith sings....this kinda repeats. some parts have the synth, most of it 
have the guitar riff until"i'll run away with you", then it plays.

this is also played sometimes when the guitar chord is playing the D, mostly during the second verse:

Little guitar thingy:
e --2------2-----2-----------------------------------------------------------|
B ----3------3-----3---------------------------------------------------------|
G ------2------2-------------------------------------------------------------|
D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A ---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 THEN COMES THE CHORUS:
starting on you, "lost and only"
BASS:
e --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D -----------------------------------------0--------------------------------|
A --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E ---2-2-2--3-3-3-2-2-2-3-3-3-2-2-2-3-3-3-------0-0-0-0-0-------------------|

GUITAR 1*:
this mostly just strums through an F# chord, then a D:
e ------2---------2--------2------2-----------------------------------------|
B -----2---------2--------2------3------------------------------------------|
G ----3---------3--------3------2-------------------------------------------|
D ---4---------4--------4------0--------------------------------------------|
A --4---------4--------4------0--------2-2-2-2-2----------------------------|
E -2---------2--------2-----------------------------------------------------|
*WARNING: this part does NOTHING durnig the G. don't strum the F that slowly.

GUITAR 2:
this part just strums an F# and a G, i do both as bar chords. then it plays a full D and E:
    F# (244322@1)  G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)    Ee (022100@1)--2-----3--------2------0-------------------------------------------------|
B --2-----3--------3------0-------------------------------------------------|
G --3-----4----x3--2------1-------------------------------------------------|
D --4-----5--------0------2-------------------------------------------------|
A --4-----5--------0------2-------------------------------------------------|
E --2-----3---------------0-------------------------------------------------|

SYNTH:
e --14----15-17-19-14-------------14---15-17-19-10--------------------------|
B -----------------------14-15-17-------------------------------------------|
G --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E --------------------------------------------------------------------------|

then everything returns to the verse part. this is the piano solo that follows the first 
and also plays during the second verse:
PIANO:
e -12-12-12-12-9-----------------9-----12-12-12-12-9----------------9-------|
B ---------------10--12-12-10-12---------------------10-12-12-10-12---------|
G ---------------------------------11---------------------------------------|
D --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E --------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e -10-9-10-12----17-17-17-17-19-21-17-19-17-19-17-19--(-10-9-10-9-------x2--|
B ------------10-------------------------------------------------10-10)-----|
G --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A --------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E --------------------------------------------------------------------------|

that's prett much it. it all ends on a D chord, so its the same as the first chorus, but 
cuts out at the end except for a D chord...

here's the lyrics with chords:
                   A (x02220@1)            EShow (022100@1)me, show me, show me how you do that trick,
        Bmin (x2022x@1)        DThe (xx0232@1)one that makes me scream, she said
    A (x02220@1)                EThe (022100@1)one that makes me laugh, she said
    Bmin (x2022x@1)            DAnd (xx0232@1)threw her arms around my neck.
A (x02220@1)             EShow (022100@1)me how you do it,
    Bmin (x2022x@1)           DAnd (xx0232@1)I promise you, I promise that
         A (x02220@1)           EI'll (022100@1)run away with you
         Bmin (x2022x@1)        DI'll (xx0232@1)run away with you
(riff)
   A (x02220@1)           ESpinning (022100@1)on that dizzy edge,
   Bmin (x2022x@1)             DI (xx0232@1)kissed her face and kissed her head
     A (x02220@1)               E (022100@1)                BminAnd (x2022x@1)dreamed of all the different ways I had
            DTo (xx0232@1)make her glow.
A (x02220@1)             EWhy (022100@1)are you so far away? she said
Bmin (x2022x@1)         D (xx0232@1)                   A (x02220@1)         EWhy (022100@1)won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
       Bmin (x2022x@1)             DThat (xx0232@1)I'm in love with you


F# (244322@1)  GYou, (320003@1)soft and only
F# (244322@1)  GYou, (320003@1)lost and lonely
F# (244322@1)  GYou, (320003@1)strange as angels
DDancing (xx0232@1)in the deepest oceans,
ETwisting (022100@1)in the water
                          AYou're (x02220@1)just like a dream.
(piano solo)

A (x02220@1)                 EDaylight (022100@1)licked me into shape
Bmin (x2022x@1)              DI (xx0232@1)must have been asleep for days
A (x02220@1)                 EAnd (022100@1)moving lips to breathe her name
Bmin (x2022x@1)           DI (xx0232@1)opened up my eyes
A (x02220@1)               EAnd (022100@1)found myself alone, alone,
Bmin (x2022x@1)         DAlone (xx0232@1)above a raging sea
A (x02220@1)                 EThat (022100@1)stole the only girl I loved,
Bmin (x2022x@1)               DAnd (xx0232@1)drowned her deep inside of me

F# (244322@1) GYou, (320003@1)soft and only
F# (244322@1) GYou, (320003@1)lost and lonely
F# (244322@1) G (320003@1)              DYou, (xx0232@1)Just like heaven
