Not sure what instrument is playing this, but here's how you do it on guitar.

[Verse]
(Play intro riff all the way through here or Cm chords lightly)
(intro riff)
I've sealed myself in
(intro riff)
Laminated all of my skin
(intro riff)
Sellotaped my world in bits
(intro riff)
I must embrace paralysis

[Chorus]
Fm Bb Eb
Only in you do we see ourselves
Fm Bb Eb
Only in you can we see our end
Fm Bb Eb
So sick and so tired of being for real
Fm Bb Eb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

(Riff 2, changed a little)

[Verse]
N.C.
Builder of Routines
N.C.
It makes me safe and clean
Cm (or can be N.C., your choice)
It crucifies parts of me
N.C.
But never seems to make me bleed

[Chorus]
Fm Bb Eb
Only in you do we see ourselves
Fm Bb Eb
Only in you can we imagine our mend
Fm Bb Eb
So sick and so tired of being for real
Fm Bb Eb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

[Refrain]
Ab Eb
How I hate middle age
Cm Fm
In between acceptance and rage
Ab Eb
Democracy has sure made a fool out of me
Cm Fm
But I am the builder of routines

Ab Eb Cm Fm x2
Hold Fm until guitar comes back in, which is a Bb chord when it comes back in.
