You can actually play the tune and the chords at the same time if you're a bit creative!
Verse:
Am
I know the old patterns
Am
because I live by the sea,
Am
and what I translate in water,
Am
it won't come back to haunt me.
Am
So cut another pattern to
Am
make a suitable friend of me,
Am
and in your illumination
Am
is your apology.
Pre-chorus:
Am
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
D5
It's what we keep of last night while we sleep.
Chorus:
D5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
D5
on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place.
D5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
D5
It should have passed like hours, passed like years, felt like days.
Verse 2:
Am
And you live in the shadows
Am
of the evenings you mislead,
Am
but they're too real to be forgotten,
Am
if you choose the right company.
Am
And I run each finger through the dust
Am
and only through your hair in sleep
Am
but it's like the first breath in the morning,
Am
and it brings the past back to me.
Pre-chorus:
Am
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
D5
It depends what we keep of last night while we sleep.
Chorus:
D5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
D5
on the longest day, I watch people fight to take my place.
D5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
D5
It should have passed like years, passed like hours, lost in days.

Chorus:
D5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
D5
on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place.
D5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
D5
What should have passed like hours, passed like years, passed like days.
Solo:
The solo isn't played on guitar (although neither is the main riff!) but I've tabbed it
anyway for anyone interested:
