This is my first ever tab, but this song is so damn awesome that I had to put a
tab out there for it that people can either use or improve upon. Again, I am not
an expert with chords but I think this sounds fairly close.

Verse 1:
E
I was raised up believing
A
I was somehow unique
B
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
A E
Unique in each way you can see
Verse 2:
E
And now after some thinking
A
I'd say I'd rather be
B
A functioning cog in some great machinery
A E
Serving something beyond me
Chorus:
E A
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
Verse 3:
E
What's my name, what's my station
A
Oh just tell me what I should do
B
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
A E
That would do such injustice to you
Verse 4:
E
Or bow down and be grateful
A
And say "Sure take all that you see"
B
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
A E
And determine my future for me
Chorus:
E A
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
E A E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see
Verse 6:
E
If I know only one thing
A
It's that every thing that I see
B
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A E
Often I barely can speak
Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
A
And I can't keep it to myself
B
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
A E
Why should I wait for anyone else?
Chorus
E A
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
E A E
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

E A
If I had an orchard
E A (Aadd9)
I'd work till I'm raw
A6 E
If i had an orchard
A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
And you would wait tables
E A Asus4 A
And soon run the store
E A
Gold hair in the sunlight
E A (Aadd9)
My light in the dawn
A6 E
If I had an orchard
A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
E A
If I had an orchard
E A Asus4 A
I'd work till I'm sore
Harmony Verse - follow same chord pattern as before...
E A
Someday I'll be
E A
Like the man on the screen
A - Asus4 - A - E
You could also play this song in standard tuning with a capo on the 4th fret. The chords would then be:
E-->C/G
A-->F/C
B-->G/D
By playing the 5th of each chord as the bass note you get the same kind of depth that you hear in the song.
These lyrics are so damn depressing...
Capo third fret for standard tuning in C; it's what Skye is playing. Depressing lyrics + Super-uplifting music=great tune.
