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

And I watch your grave be written all over your face,

Solo:
The solo isn't played on guitar (although neither is the main riff!) but I've tabbed it
