There are two riffs, 1 corresponds to Ian's vocals.
You'll have to figure out the rhythm for yourselves, the best source to aid is
imo the 2nd JD Peel Session.
When playing alone, switch from one riff to another (assuming that you are not
capable of playing two guitars simultaneously :)

Lyrics/Chords (from memory, so watch out for mistakes):
When routine bites hard
-]
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
-]
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
-]
Taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is this bedroom so cold?
You turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Am I feeling surprised?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear it apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my feelings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As despiration takes hold
Yet, that somehing's so good
Just can't function no more, when
Love, love will tear us apart again
Cheers,

Why is this bedroom so cold?
You turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Am I feeling surprised? [in other versions: our respect runs so dry]
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear it apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my feelings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As despiration takes hold
Yet, that somehing's so good
