Introduction
---------------
The "authentic version" has the jazzy chords as they seemed to me, feel free to correct me.
Recommended Effects:
--------------------
reverb
try to keep a clean sound
perhaps turn the tone/treble a bit down.
Authentic version
------------------
The version is partially deduced from live performance video in Audiotree -

AM7/C# 9 12 11 9 9 9 (A Major 7th over C#)
E x 7 9 9 9 7 (that's how it was probably played live)
( I actually prefer playing it: 0 2 2 1 0 0, gives it a more open and relaxing sound )
[Verse 1]
Asus2 Bsus4
Hand over hand
E/G# AM7/C#
I'm pulling myself together
Bsus4 Asus2
On this itchy couch again
Bsus4
I’d pull you in
E/G# AM7/C#
But I couldn’t help thinking
Bsus4 E Asus2
Or My mouth was tarpaulin
(keep the Asus2)
[Verse 2]
Asus2 Bsus4 E/G#
Let me start again
AM7/C#
I didn’t mean to say so
Bsus4 E Asus2
Much about my plans
Bsus4 E/G#
So you see my hand
AM7/C#
See? It’s never either/or now
Bsus4 E Asus2
Stigmata ampersand
[Verse 3]
Asus2 Bsus4
The morning is the self
E/G# AM7/C#
it’s self evident
Bsus4 E Asus2
A clattering of blinds
Bsus4
A mimetic wind
E/G# AM7/C#
A sympathetic tremor I’m
Bsus4 E Asus2
A tessela of signs
(keep the Asus2)
[Verse 4]
Asus2 Bsus4 E/G#
O I close my eyes and
AM7/C#
Fractal inner rings of
Bsus4 E Asus2
varicose resign
Bsus4 E
Coiled dark inside
AM7/C#
I’ll open my eyes and clear my
Bsus4 E Asus2
Throat when I know it’s time
[Outro]
Asus2 Bsus4 E/G# AM7/C# Bsus4
Simplified/Acoustic version
This is my take on giving it a simpler sound if you wanna play acoustic.
