Dsus2        C/D             Dsus+5
All the things that I needed
G                Dsus2
Wasted my chances
   C/D                     Dsus+5
I have found myself wanting
 Dsus2      C/D           Dsus+5
When a mother and father
G                    Dsus2
gave me their problems
  C/D                     Dsus+5    G
I accepted them all
 
Dsus2        C/D             Dsus+5
Nothing ever expected
G                Dsus2
I was rejected
C/D                     Dsus+5
But I came back for more
 
Chorus:
 
D+sus2/Bb            A
And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky
         G
Where a boy rides on a bike
            A
And never smiles
 D+sus2/Bb            A
And my ashes fall on all the things we said
     G
On a box of photographs
 
             F   D          A       F   D             A
 Under the bed,         the bed
 
I will stay in my own world
Under the red covers (not too sure about this one)
I will feel safe inside
 
Kiss that will burn me
Cure me of dreaming
I was always returning
 
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child
That I forgot
 
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse
On piano keys
 
And my ashes drown upon a park in Wales
Never ending clouds of rain
And distant sails, distant sails

The chord he plays on "needed" of the first verse and throughout is actually a Dmin6, not Dsus+5 and the first chord of the chorus (And my ashes drift etc.) is a Gmin6. That's what he plays on the piano, and he matches it on guitar. Steve loves min6 chords, uses them all over the place.

Perfect tab, the build-up at the end gives me goosebumps almost every time.
