The following pattern repeats for the first half of the song,
with the C/G occasionally being strummed slightly differently,
although it doesn't particularly matter. Hopefully the rhythm
should be fairly easy to pick up from the recording.

G (320003@1)              Am (x02210@1)    Em (022000@1)     C/GSavanna (3x555x@1)scatters and the seabird sings 
So why should we fear what travel brings? 
What were we hoping to get out of this?
Some kind of momentary bliss?

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
It's our dearest ally, it's our closest friend 
It's our darkest blackout, it's our final end
My dear sweet nothing, let's start anew
From here on in it's just me and you

I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived 
                  C/G (3x555x@1)         Em/G (322000@1)   GWell (320003@1)I guess it's over, I guess it's begun
It's a losers' table, but we've already won
It's a funny battle, it's a constant game
I guess I was busy when nothing came

C (x32010@1)name="chord_322000@1">Em/G                  GI (320003@1)guess I was busy (when Nothing arrived) x5

Cue gigantic climax, the chords to which unfortunately elude me. 
Still, I hope this was helpful. GLHF.
