And now the song (this IS how it sounds):

{section: Intro}
{section: Riff}
{section: Verse}
[Cmaj7]Smells in the air,
[C9]See there it's crashing the [Cmaj7]final impression that stains the [C9]paper
Where the [Em]words felt like water,
Une[Em7]arth all the changes that [Em]never did matter,
I [Em7]think it's beginning to freeze here

after riff:
[Cmaj7]Caught in the rage and the [C9]fire of things,
All the [Cmaj7]brightness that burns me, I'm [C9]fumbling through like a
[Em]Child in the dark, when the n[Em7]akedness   comes,
I am sh[Em]ocked by the colour, the gl[Em7]orious weight of your

{section: Chorus}
first word of chorus is the end of the previous sentance):
[Am]Skin
Comes al[C]ive
And I n[G]ever thought we'd m[D]ake it back so s[Am]oon
Might be n[C]ice
But I kn[G]ew you'd be your o[D]wn destroyer
[Am]    Comes a t[C]ime
       G                   D                 riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you

{section: Verse 2}
(after end of riff)
[Cmaj7]Here please forgive me,
how co[C9]uld we escape all the b[Cmaj7]itterness piled upon b[C9]itterness?
Held in the f[Em]ace of the things that I d[Em7]on't understand
Intell[Em]ectualize,  [Em7]over and over this he[Cmaj7]lplessness suits us,
It's f[C9]unny how quiet has sli[Cmaj7]pped to our corners and w[C9]orn all our edges
Aw[Em]ay you are watching, br[Em7]eathing and baiting,
[Em]Wanting and warming and c[Em7]autiously waiting
For so[Cmaj7]me simple signal, to cr[C9]eep 'cross our conscience,
Unc[Cmaj7]over redemption and [C9]oh did I mention I
[Em]Carried you down, to the [Em7]St. Lawrence River,
The b[Em]anks running dirty, the w[Em7]ater is beginning to fr[Cmaj7]eeze here,    [C9]
Solid by m[Cmaj7]orning,   [C9]
And I'll fre[Em]eze here,   [Em7]
Be winter by m[Em]ornaaaay[Em7]aayaaiang

{section: Chorus 2}
[Am]        Comes al[C]ive
And I n[G]ever thought you'd g[D]et me back so s[Am]oon
Might be n[C]ice
But it's [G]only my [D]own destroyer
[Am]    Comes a t[C]ime
       G                D                 riff with chords
When I always knew I'd make it up to... you

Verse 3, more quiet: (After riff)
[Cmaj7]I saw on your face, such a c[C9]urious   grin,
As I l[Cmaj7]et go your hand I was d[C9]esparate to hold you
Ag[Em]ain, but you're sinking, too d[Em7]eep in the water,
Outsm[Em]arted myself, and so [Em7]easily gave up what I

(insert riff here)
[Cmaj7]Wanted,    [C9]
Solid by m[Cmaj7]orning,    [C9]
What I w[Em]anted,   [Em7]
Be winter by m[Em]ornaaaay[Em7]aayaaiang

{section: Chorus 3}
[Am]     Comes al[C]ive
And I n[G]ever thought you'd m[D]ake it up so s[Am]oon
Might be n[C]ice
But I [G]always knew you're m[D]y destroyer
[Am]    Comes a t[C]ime
       G                   D                 riff with chords
When I always thought I'd make it up to... you

{section: Outro}
after riff):
[Cmaj7]        [C9]     Solid by m[Cmaj7]orning     [C9]
{sot}And I'll fr[Em]eeze here...    [Em7]                            let ring
