You can actually play the tune and the chords at the same time if you're a bit creative!
Verse:
AmGAm
I know the old patterns
CD5Am
because I live by the sea,
GAm
and what I translate in water,
CGAm
it won't come back to haunt me.
GAm
So cut another pattern to
CD5Am
make a suitable friend of me,
GAm
and in your illumination
CGAm
is your apology.
Pre-chorus:
CGAm
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
CGD5
It's what we keep of last night while we sleep.
Chorus:
AmCGD5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
AmCGD5
on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place.
AmCGD5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
AmCGD5
It should have passed like hours, passed like years, felt like days.
Verse 2:
AmGAm
And you live in the shadows
CD5Am
of the evenings you mislead,
GAm
but they're too real to be forgotten,
c G Am
if you choose the right company.
GAm
And I run each finger through the dust
CDAm
and only through your hair in sleep
GAm
but it's like the first breath in the morning,
CGAm
and it brings the past back to me.
Pre-chorus:
CGAm
What we keep of last night while we sleep.
CGD5
It depends what we keep of last night while we sleep.
Chorus:
AmCGD5
And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
AmCGD5
on the longest day, I watch people fight to take my place.
AmCGD5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
AmCGD5
It should have passed like years, passed like hours, lost in days.

And I watch your grave be written all over your face,
AmCGD5
on the longest day, when midnight tries to take my place.
AmCGD5
As still as I watch your face be written all over your grave,
AmCGD5
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:
