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.

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