Standard tuning
Chord driven song. Here you go.
There are also lead guitar parts at the end, if that interests anyone...
 
Verse 1:
 
B
I am the sea on a moonless night
Bsus2
Calling falling, slipping tides
B
I am the leaky, dripping pipes
    Bsus2
The endless, aching drops of light
B
I am the raindrop falling down
Bsus2
Always longing for the deeper ground
B
I am the broken, breaking seas
Bsus2
Even my blood finds ways to bleed
 
Prechorus 1:
G#m
Even the rivers ways to run
E
Even the rain to reach the sun
G#m
Even my thirsty streams
E
Even in my dreams
 
Chorus:
       B
I am restless
       E
I am restless
       B
I am restless
             E
Looking for you
       B
I am restless
               E/B                G#m
I run like the ocean to find your shore
             E
Looking for you
 
Repeat Verse
 
Repeat Chorus
 
Bridge:
               B
I can hear you breathing
               E
I can feel you leading
                 B
More than just a feeling
                 E
More than just a feeling
               B
I can feel you reaching
                    E
Pushing through the ceiling
               B
íTil the final healing
                 E
I'm looking for you
 
Prechorus 3:
  G#m                 G#m7 (I think)
Until the sea of glass we meet
E
At last completed and complete
      G#m
Where tide and tear and pain subside
    E
And laughter drinks them dry
 
Outro:
         B
I'll be waiting
      (E)
Anticipating
            B
All that I aim for
            F#
What I was made for
            G#m
With every heartbeat
             E
All of my blood bleeds
           B
Running inside me
             E
Looking for you
             B
Looking for you
             Bsus2
Looking for you
             B
Looking for you
             Bsus2
Looking for you

At different parts in the song, It Proves Easier to play the Chord fill on
The E String root, and at other parts its easier to play the fill on the A
String Root. This is Only If you are playing it by yourself, If you're in a
band Guitar 2 covers the chord fill while Guitar 1 Plays the pre Verse.

fix the chorus after solo in the first song, formats off. Also the general symbol for palm mute is just a dot - . I think the chorus and bridge in the second song should be played with this rhythm: x x xx x x x x x xx x x In Dark horse I think the bridge is played with two guitars that's it, nice tab :)
