I am positive there are layers that I'm not including, but on the guitar, the following should
suffice to follow the song. It appears as if it's just the same chord progression throughout.
If anyone has any corrections or additions, please don't hesitate to comment or post yourself.
Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 (2x) B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
Everyday / you crawl into the night
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 (2x) B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
A fallen angel / with your wings set alight
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 (2x)
When you hit the ground
B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
Everything turns to blue
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 (2x)
I can't get through the smoke
B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
That's surrounding you
[Chorus 1]
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
I can't tell which way is down
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're screaming
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Somehow I don't hear a sound
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're seeing things
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Then your feet don't touch the ground
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
I can't tell which way is down
[Verse 2]
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F#
I can see through the clouds
F#sus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
I can walk right through the walls
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F#
Hang me off the ceiling
F#sus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
But I can't take the fall
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F#
Should I cross the river
F#sus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
When I may get swept away
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F#
Out there on the water
F#sus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
You can still see me wave
[Chorus 2]
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
I can't tell which way is down
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
I can't tell which way is down
F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 B
Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
I can see all those things
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
My feet don't touch the ground
[Chorus 3]
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
I can't tell which way is down
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're screaming
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Somehow I don't hear a sound
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're seeing things
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Then your feet don't touch the ground
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
I can't tell which way is down
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're screaming
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Somehow I don't hear a sound
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're seeing things
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Then your feet don't touch the ground
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
'Cause when you're falling
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B Bsus2
I can't tell which way is down
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4
And when you're screaming
F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Somehow I don't hear a sound
Bsus2 F#
'Cause when you're falling
B
I can't tell which way is down
F#
And when you're screaming
B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
Somehow I don't hear a sound
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
when you're falling
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
when you're falling
Bsus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F# F#sus4 F# F#sus2 B Bsus2 B Bsus4 B
when you're falling
