This song has a recurring riff that breaks the vocals. Here it is (I
don't know if it's exactly correct, but it sounds pretty damn close):

And now the song (this IS how it sounds):
Intro riff
Verse:
Cmaj7Smells in the air,
See there it's crashing the final impression that stains the paper
EmWhere the words felt like water,
Em7 EmUnearth all the changes that never did matter,
Em7 riff (w/ same chords but quiet in background)
I think it's beginning to freeze here
after riff:
Cmaj7 C9Caught in the rage and the fire of things,
All the brightness that burns me, I'm fumbling through like a
Em Em7Child in the dark, when the nakedness comes,
Em Em7I am shocked by the colour, the glorious weight of your
Chorus (first word of chorus is the end of the previous sentance):
AmSkin
CComes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
CMight be nice
G DBut I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
Verse 2: (after end of riff)
Here please forgive me,
C9 Cmaj7 C9how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness?
(pickup) Em Em7
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
Intellectualize, over and over this helplessness suits us,
C9 Cmaj7 C9It's funny how quiet has slipped to our corners and worn all our edges
Em Em7Away you are watching, breathing and baiting,
Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
Cmaj7 C9For some simple signal, to creep 'cross our conscience,
Cmaj7 C9Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I
Carried you down, to the St. Lawrence River,
Em Em7 Cmaj7 C9The banks running dirty, the water is beginning to freeze here,
Cmaj7 C9Solid by morning,
And I'll freeze here,
Em Em7Be winter by mornaaaayaayaaiang
Chorus 2
Comes alive
G D AmAnd I never thought you'd get me back so soon
CMight be nice
But it's only my own destroyer
Am CComes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always knew I'd make it up to... you
Verse 3, more quiet: (After riff)
Cmaj7 C9I saw on your face, such a curious grin,
Cmaj7 C9As I let go your hand I was desparate to hold you
Again, but you're sinking, too deep in the water,
Em Em7Outsmarted myself, and so easily gave up what I
(insert riff here)
Wanted,
Cmaj7 C9Solid by morning,
Em Em7What I wanted,
Be winter by mornaaaayaayaaiang
Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
CMight be nice
G DBut I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
G D riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you
