A lover of the light
 
 
That's pretty much the whole song's chords and repeated, just listen for chord and timing.

Lyrics:
 
In the middle of the night, I may watch you go
Ther'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'll be yours, if you'll be mine
 
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like, but close my ears and eyes
Watch me crumble over and over
 
I have done wrong so build your tower
But call me home and I will build a thronw
And wash my eyes out never again
 
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
 
Skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward
 
I know I tried, I was not stable
Flawed by pride, I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up...breathe in, breathe out
 
But love the one you hold
And I'll be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
 
And in the middle of the night, I may watch you go
There'll be no value in the strength of walls that I'll have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'll be yours, if you'll be mine
 
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
 
So love the one you hold
And I will be your goal
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

I think the chords are right, but the song is actually in open D tuning. Whenever I play the open strings in open D, it sounds exactly like the original.

you should scrap this as I played your version and it sounds nothing like the record. i also agree with the first comment. how can you say to play it in either tuning

Use Open C custom and use Capo on 2nd. Chords are correct.
