Verse 1:
DGD
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
GABm
Take what you like but close my years and eyes
GDA2D/F#A2D
Watch me stumble o-ver and o-ver
DGD
I have done wrong, you build your tower
GABm
But call me home and I will build a throne
GDA2D/F#A2D
And wash my eyes out never a-gain

DG
But love the one you hold
A
And I'll be your goal
Bm
To have and to hold
D
A lover of the light
Verse 2 (From "With skin too tight..." to "breathe in and breathe out") is the same of
the 1st.
Chorus 2 is always the same
Bridge is like the intro, but there's a new line between "Of the shadows thrown" and
"But I'd be yours if you'd be mine":
