I absolutely adore this song, so I felt it necessary to attempt a tab for
this song, and with chords for people like myself who find it easier to play and
sing using chords. I hope I've done a decent job. Please pay attention to the
chord tab, I know it's easy to play the shapes as if you were in standard but bear
in mind you are in drop D.
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE) Capo 4 (IV)

Verse 1:
Bm D Cadd9 D9
So let's face it, this was never what you wanted
Bm D Cadd9 D9
But I know, I know it's fun to pretend
Bm D Cadd9 D9
Now blank stares and empty threats
Bm D Cadd9 D9
Are all I have, they’re all I have
Chorus:
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
So drown me, if you can
CMaj7 Cadd9
Or we could just have conversation
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
and I fall, I fall, I fall down
CMaj7 Cadd9 Dsus2 D CMaj7
But I found you before I drift away

Verse 3:
Bm D Cadd9 D9
Now you still speak of day old hate
Bm D Cadd9 D9
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
Bm D Cadd9 D9
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
Bm D Cadd9 D9
And how safe it is to feel safe
Chorus:
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
So drown me, if you can
CMaj7 Cadd9
Or we could just have conversation
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
and I fall, I fall, I fall down
CMaj7 Cadd9 Dsus2 D CMaj7
But I found you before I drift away
Interlude: GMaj7, G, Em11, GMaj9, CMaj7, Cadd9, D11, GMaj7, G, Em11, GMaj9, CMaj7, Cadd9, D11, D9
[sing over with doo, doo, doo's]
Bm D Cadd9 D9
The things we do just to stay alive
Bm D Cadd9 D9
The things we do just to stay alive
Bm D Cadd9 D9
The things we do just to stay alive
Bm D CMaj7
The things we do just to keep ourselves alive
....or you can keep it in standard tuning and pretty much alternate between Em, D, and Cadd9.
and I forgot to mention some hammering on the D chord with the high e string, and some Em7 hammering on the Em. It's not quite as pretty as the original song, but it works well to sing with.
