 1st Verse:
  A self-fulfilling  prophecy
  Of endless possibility
  You roll  in reams across  the street
  In algebra,  in algebra
 2nd Verse:
  The fences  that you cannot climb
  The sentences that do not  rhyme
  In all  that you can ever  change
  The one  you're looking for
  It gets you down
  It gets you down
  There's  no spark
 No light in the dark
  It gets you down
  It gets you down
  You traveled far
 What have you found
  That there's no time
  There's no time
 To analyse
 To think things through
  To make  sense
 3rd Verse:
  Like candles  in the city
  They never  looked so pretty
  By power  cuts and blackouts
  Sleeping  like babies
  It gets you down
  It gets you down
 You're just playing a part
 You're just playing a part
  You're playing a part
  Playing a part
 And there's no time
 There's no time
  To analyse

 Throughout the entire song Thom plays mainly a bass note and and high
 melody notes that really fucks up the harmonies and gives that weird and
 frustrating sound, which is very characteristic for Radiohead as well.
 "Hail To The Thief" (recommended!) is a great example of this. If these
 weird notes were to be added the chords, it'd really spice things up:
E6
|--4--->--1----| |--4-->--4---| |--3-->--3---| |------>--1----| |--0--|>--9---|
|--1--->--4----| |--4-->--6---| |--3-->--6---| |------>--1----| |--0--|>--9---|

|------>-------| |--4-->--4---| |--3-->--3---| |------>-------| |--0--|>--0---|
|---4----| - 2nd finger (middle)
|---6----| - 4th finger (pinky)
|---4----| - 1st finger (index)
|--------|
|---5----| - 3rd finger (ring)
|---3----| - thumb
 ...All these chords can be played instead of the regular chords from above.
 You can also add these (and your own!) melody notes to the chords:
Fm
|---0---0-1-3---| |---1-----------|
|---1-----------| |---1---1-2-1---|
|---0-----------| |---1-----------|
|---2-----------| |---3-----------|
|---3-----------| |---3-----------|
|---------------| |---1-----------|
 These notes are played in the verses and prechorus at some point, but just
 add as many small melodies (these are very small) as possible as it gives
 this extra momentum to the guitar that usually only play chords, go for it!
