Not sure what instrument is playing this, but here's how you do it on guitar.

Verse:
(Play intro riff all the way through here or C minorCm chords lightly)
(intro riff)
I've sealed myself in
(intro riff)
Laminated all of my skin
(intro riff)
Sellotaped my world in bits
(intro riff)
I must embrace paralysis

Chorus:
F minorFm        Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Only in you do we see ourselves
F minorFm         Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Only in you can we see our end
  F minorFm             Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
So sick and so tired of being for real
F minorFm           Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

(Riff 2, changed a little)

Verse:
N.C.
Builder of Routines
N.C.
It makes me safe and clean
C minorCm (or can be N.C., your choice)
It crucifies parts of me
N.C.
But never seems to make me bleed

Chorus:
F minorFm        Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Only in you do we see ourselves
F minorFm         Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Only in you can we imagine our mend
  F minorFm             Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
So sick and so tired of being for real
F minorFm           Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

Refrain:
   AbAb     Eb MajorEb
How I hate middle age
C minorCm       F minorFm
In between acceptance and rage
    AbAb               Eb MajorEb
Democracy has sure made a fool out of me
  C minorCm             F minorFm
But I am the builder of routines

AbAb Eb MajorEb C minorCm F minorFm x2
Hold F minorFm until guitar comes back in, which is a Bb majorBb chord when it comes back in.
