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 Cm 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:
Fm                Bb  Eb
Only in you do we see ourselves
Fm                 Bb      Eb
Only in you can we see our end
   Fm                         Bb  Eb
So sick and so tired of being for real
Fm                     Bb      Eb
Only the fiction still has the appeal

(Riff 2, changed a little)

A|-3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3---3-3-3-3---------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|

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

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

Refrain:
      Ab          Eb
How I hate middle age
Cm              Fm
In between acceptance and rage
       Ab                             Eb
Democracy has sure made a fool out of me
    Cm                         Fm
But I am the builder of routines

Ab Eb Cm Fm x2
Hold Fm until guitar comes back in, which is a Bb chord when it comes back in.

Outro:
