We have an official Bubbles tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Tuning: Half step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
 
Key: Eb/Cm
 
Chords are not transposed with the tuning, so an Eb is played like an E in
standard tuning, a Cm is played like a C#m and so on.

[Riff 1a]
Ab/Eb                               Eb
Well how's your view of thing today
                          Ab/Eb
Got up young to fade away
                                 Eb
The sinners sin but aren't aware
 
Our fables take us everywhere
Ab Ab/#11 Ab Eb
I can't keep up with you
Ab Ab/#11 Ab Eb
I can't keep up
 
[Riff 1b]
Ab/Eb                        Eb
I can't compete with history
                                    Ab/Eb
We'll film it live but dub our tale
                             Eb
The mystery must stay inside
 
Look at our homes, look at our lives
Ab    Ab/#11 Ab   Eb
In control of the morning
Ab    Ab/#11 Ab   Fm7
In control of the sea
 
[Riff 2]
Cm                       Ab
You are creating all the bubbles at night
Bb                          Cm
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
Cm                       Ab
We don't need to trust a single word they say
Bb                       Cm
You are creating all the bubbles at play
 
          Eb                              Fm              Gm
There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
          Ab                Eb
And she's down by the river
       Cm                          Ab
In her own creepy world, there's a girl, there's a girl
          Bb
And she's down by the river
     Cm               Ab
It's time to consider
     Cm               Eb
That baby is a sinner
       Fm
She'll wash away your sins (wash away your sins)
       Gm             Ab
She'll wash away your sins (wash away your sins)
                                       Eb
She'll wash away your sins and go home
 
[Riff 1b]
Ab/Eb                    Eb
I only once upset my kin
                            Ab/Eb
Accused him of a moral slip
                                  Eb
He came back and claimed a change
 
I know his life's the same again
Ab Ab/#11 Ab Eb
I can't ask him again
Ab    Ab/#11 Ab Fm7
I should let it go
 
[Riff 2]
Cm                       Ab
You are creating all the bubbles at night

I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
Cm                       Ab
We don't need to trust a single word they say
Bb                       Cm
You are creating all the bubbles at play
 
          Eb                              Fm              Gm
There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
          Ab                Eb
And she's down by the river
       Cm                          Ab
In her own creepy world, there's a girl, there's a girl
          Bb
And she's down by the river
     Cm               Ab
It's time to consider

That baby is a sinner
 
       Fm
She'll wash away your sins (wash away your sins)
       Gm             Ab
She'll wash away your sins (wash away your sins)

She'll wash away your sins and go home

Great tab, would be 5 stars if chords had their positions displayed as well.
