For the advanced players there is an easy way to explain how the verse works.
There is just one  picking pattern which is (low E = 1. String; high e = 6. String):
 
For the Chords C and Am:
2;3+5;2;4;3;5
 
For the Chords G and Em:
1;3+5;2;4;3;5
 
Just by listening to the song (and the chords I'll give you at the end of the tab)
it should be no problem to play along. :)
For the beginners here is the whole picking pattern:
 
Verse:
    C1     | G1               | Em1    | G2            | Am    | Em2           |C2

Full Song:
 
Intro as it says above
 
Verse:
       C1          G1
I pick up a broken comb
       Em1                  G2
Run it through my thin grey hair
         Am             Em2
Though I don't have any plans tonight
        C1       G2
I'm not going anywhere
       C1                    G1
Well I should have seen this coming
      Em1           G2
Don't know why I'm surprised
            Am            Em2
every vessel on its way down
           C2
takes with it the captain's life
 
Chorus (as it says above)
 
Though I'm blind, my dear, I see
The parade goes on without me
My body aches, my mind it weeps
C1       Intro Part I
For you, for you
 
Intro Part I*
 
Verse:
            C1                G1
Tonight I'm locked outside my building
        Em1                G2
Guess I must have lost the key
             Am              Em2
So I'll just sit here on the sidewalk
            C1              G2
And let the snow fall on my knees
         C1           G1
And if I made it to a payphone
        Em1              G2
I don't know who I would call
       Am                Em2
So for now I'll close my eyes and rest
           C3
My crooked back against the wall
 
G3 G3 G3
 
G2          C1               G2
I read that old men will see visions
          Em1             G2
And young men will follow dreams
      Am                 Em2
And I believed it when I read it
           C1           G2
I see your face in everything
         C              G1
Now your honey jars are frozen
           Em1                     G2
And in the window, your books have browned
            Am              Em2
And there's too much room inside our bed
             C2
I think I'll join you, in the ground
 
Chorus (as it says above)
 
Though I'm blind, my dear, I see
Let the chorus sing without me
My body breaks, my mind it sleeps
C1        G3 (3 times)
With you, whoa ah ahh
 
G (Just 1 downstroke)
 
*instead of playing the open e string (shortly after the Em starts) you gotta play the open B string. ;)

I hope this tab helped you playing the song. I really recommend watching this version of the song
(->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfsQ6VebK0U) because it helped me a lot to figure out some difficulties.
Anyway, have fun practicing and let me know what you think about the tab. :)
