LYRICS
verse1
She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
 
chorus...
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard
 
verse 2
She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
 
chorus...
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard

Version two is spot on; this, not so much. The part after the very beginning of the intro/verse is off - it should go 2 on the dropped D, 4 on dropped D, then 2 on A - not 0, 2, 2 (respectively). Just use version two, however thanks for the lyrics, those do come in handy.
