Capo 1st fret
[INTRO]
Am G Am G
[VERSE 1]
Am
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva
Em7
The mountains can cover the shape of his nose
Am
He wants to die where nobody can see him
Em7
But the beauty of his death will carry on so
[REFRAIN]
Am Em7
I don’t believe him
[VERSE 2]
Am
He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him
Em7
And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes I believe him
Am
And sometimes I’m convinced that my friends think I’m crazy
Em7
Get scared and call him, but he’s usually hazy
Am
At one in the morning the day is not ended
Em7
By two he is scared that sleep is no friend
Am
By four he will drink but he cannot feel it
Em7
Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
[REFRAIN]
Am Em7
And I don’t believe him
Am Em7
Morning is mocking me
[VERSE 3]
Am
I wander the streets, avoiding them eats
Em7
Till the ring on my finger slips to the ground
Am
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city
Em7
The veins of which have broken me down
[REFRAIN]
Am Em7
And I don’t believe him
Am Em7
Morning is mocking me
[CHORUS 1]
Am G Am G Am G Am G
All the gods that he believes never fail to amaze me
[VERSE 4]
Am G
He believes in the love in his god of all things
Am G
But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins
Am G
The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him
[CHORUS 2]
Am G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well
F Em7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill
Am G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well
F Em7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill
[VERSE 5]
Am Em7
And since last that we partied, last that I saw him
Am Em7
down by a river, silent and hardened
Am Em7
Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky
Am Em7
I was just happy, my manic and I
Am Em7
He couldn’t see me; the sun was in his eyes
[REFRAIN]
Am Em7 F G G
And birds were singing to calm us down
Am Em7 F E G
And birds were singing to calm us down
[BRIDGE]
Am G
And I’m sorry young man, I can not be your friend.
Am G
I don’t believe in a fairytale end
Am G
I don’t keep my head up all of the time
Am G
I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
[CHORUS 3]
Am G
And I hardly know you, I think I can tell
F Em7
These are the reasons I think that we're ill
Am G
I hardly know you, I think I can tell
F Em7
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill
[REFRAIN]
Am G Am G Am G Am G
And the gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me
Am G Am G Am G Am G
And the gods that he believes never fail to disappoint me
[OUTRO]
Am Em7 Am Em7
My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I
Am Em7 F E
Have no plans to move on
Am G F Em7
But birds are singing to calm us down
Am G F E
And birds are singing to calm us down
Am

I have listened to the album version and a live version and the second chord in the verse is no Em7. There is a B in the bass (relative to capo) and a D, G# and another B on the higher strings, which makes it a Bm6 chord without the fifth. Theory aside the chord should look somewhat like this:
e-x-
B-0-
G-7-
D-6-
A-x-
E-7-
At least that is what I hear. Try it out. The Em7 is missing this certain tension.
+2

Chords sound good - At the end on the low E pluck the top string then play the top two open.
